Song :
C
Intro :
C   Am   C   Am
 
              C               Am        F         G7
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
          C             Am             Dm       G7
Got to be birds flying higher in the 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        Am       F   Dm7         C      Am   Dm7    G7
Tell me why  Oh why Oh why can't my dreams come true? Oh why.
 
              C                Am        F      G7
There must be peace and understanding sometime,
                C                  Am             Dm7       G7
strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear,
G7       C          C7         
If I can dream of a warmer sun 
       F                      E7      Am
where hope keeps shining on everyone,
        C        Am       F              C   G7   C   F   C  C7
tell me why  oh why  oh why won't that sun appear?

F               Cdim7 C                C7
We're lost in a cloud with too much of rain
F                  Cdim7 C                     C7
We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain,
F                Cdim7       C        E7 Am
But as long as a man has the strength to dream,
          D7               G7            A
He can redeem his soul, and fly He can fly

           D               Bm        G        A7
Deep in my heart there's a tremblin question.
           D             Bm               Em       A7
Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow.
                 D                          G       G#dim7
Out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle oh yeah
                D                  Bm
And while I can think, while I can talk,
            D                  Bm
While I can stand, while I can walk,
            G                      Em           A
While I can dream,  please let my dream  come true
      D   Bm
right now
                       D     Bm
Let it come true right now
 
D   G   D
