"If I Can Dream" from "All Shook Up"

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,
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true?

There must be peace and understanding sometime,
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear.
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone,
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear?

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain.
We'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.

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question.
Still I am sure that the answer 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, right now.
Let it come true right now.
Oh yeah.
