[Verse]
              C              Am       F         Gsus4 
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere 
          C    Em      Am     Em   F        G 
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue 
         C          C7 
If I can dream of a better land 
      F                    E7      Am 
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand 
        C/G     Am 
Tell me why, oh why? 
    F   Dm7      C/E    Am   Dm7   G   F   G 
Oh, why can't my dreams come true? Oh, why?
[Chorus]
             C               Am       F        Gsus4 
There must be peace and understanding sometime 
               C      Em         Am        Em  F         G 
Strong wind of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear 
         C          C7 
If I can dream of a warmer sun 
      F                     E7   Am 
Where hope keeps shining on everyone 
        C/G     Am      F   Dm7        Em  G  C   F C C7 
Tеll me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
[Chorus]
F                D7   C              C7 
 We'rе lost in a cloud with too much rain 
F                   D7   C                     C7 
 We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain 
F                 D7          C/G      E7 Am 
 But as long as a man has the strength to dream 
         D7sus4   D7       Gsus4  G   Asus4 
He can redeem his soul and fly      , oh
[Verse]
           D                Bm        G        Asus4 
Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question 
            D   F#m       Bm 
Still, I am sure that the answer's 
F#m      Em             A 
Answer's gonna come somehow 
                 D   D7                    G     E7 
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah
[Outro]
                D/A                Bm 
And while I can think, while I can talk 
            D/A                Bm 
While I can stand, while I can walk 
            G 
While I can dream, oh 
              Em         Asus4     N.C.  D    Bm  D Bm 
Please let my dream come true, oh, right now 
D G       D 
Oh, right now
