If I Can Dream

C Am F G There must be lights burning brighter somewhere, C Am F G Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue. C C7 If I can dream of a better land F F7 Where all my brothers walk hand in hand, C Am F Em Dm Tell me why, oh why, oh why, can't my dream come true? G (oh why) There must be peace and understanding sometime, Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear, If I can dream of a warmer sun, Where hope keeps shining everyone C Am F G C C7 Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear? F F7 C C7 We're lost in a cloud with too much rain, F F7 C C7 We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain, F F7 C Am But as long as a man has the strength to dream F G A He can redeem his soul and fly, (he can fly) D Bm G A Deep in my heart there's a trembling question, D Bm C A Still I am sure that the answer, answer's going to come somehow. D D7 G Out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle, Gm o yeah, D Bm And while I can think, while I can talk, D Bm While I can stand, while I can walk, G While I can dream, Em Oh please let my dream G Come true. D Bm D Bm Right now, let it come true now! D G D O yeah!
