C  G  Am  F  
C  G  F  C  

C  
There must be lights burning brighter  
         G  
Somewhere  
       Am  
Got to be birds flying higher  
      F  
In a sky more blue  
      C  
If I can dream of a better land  
       G  
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand  
       Am  
Tell me why, oh why  
       F  
Oh why can't my dream come true?  

C  G  Am  F  
C  G  F  C  

C  
There must be peace and understanding  
      G  
Sometime  
       Am  
Strong winds of promise  
      F  
That will blow away the doubt  
      C  
If I can dream of a warmer sun  
       G  
Where hope keeps shining, oh, ever long  
       Am  
Tell me why, oh why  
       F  
Oh why won't that sun appear?  

C  G  Am  F  
C  G  F  C  

C  
We're lost in a cloud  
         G  
With too much rain  
       Am  
We're trapped in a world  
        F  
That's troubled with pain  
      C  
But as long as a man  
         G  
Has the strength to dream  
         Am  
He can redeem his soul  
       F  
And fly  

C  G  Am  F  
C  G  F  C  

C  
Deep in my heart  
           G  
There's a trembling question  
       Am  
Still I am sure  
      F  
That the answer, answer's gonna come somehow  
      C  
Out there in the dark  
           G  
There's a beckoning candle  
       Am  
Oh yeah, and while I can think  
       F  
While I can talk  
      C  
While I can stand  
       G  
While I can walk  
       Am  
While I can dream  
       F  
Please let my dream  
       C  
Come true  
       G  
Right now  
       F  
Let it come true  
       C  
Right now.
