[Verse 1]
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand

[Chorus]
Tell me why, oh why?
Oh, why can't my dreams come true? Oh, why?

[Verse 2]
There must be peace and understanding sometimes
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone

[Chorus]
Tell mе why, oh why?
Oh, why won't that sun appear?

[Bridge]
We're lost in a cloud with too much rain
Wе're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly, oh
[Outro]
Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question
Still, I am sure that the answer
The answer's gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream come true
Oh, right now, oh, oh, right now
