If I Can Dream

(Music and lyrics by W. Earl Brown 1968)
There must be lights burnin’ brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flyin’ higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers work hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why
Oh why can’t my dream come true?
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 shinin’ on everyone
Tell me why, oh why
Oh why won’t that sun appear
Bridge
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, he can fly
Deep in my heart there’s a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answers 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!
