Lyrics

(Eb)There must be (Bb)lights and burn in’ (Gm)bright er (Eb)some where, got to be (Bb)birds (Dm)ise fly in’ (Gm)high er in a (Eb6)sky more (F7)blue. If I can (Bb)dream of a (Bb7)bet ter land where (Eb)all my broth ers work (D7)hand er in (Gm)hand, tell (Gdim7)me (Bb)why, oh, (Gm)why, oh, (Eb)why (Cm7)can’t my (Dm)dream (Gm)come (Cm7)true? Oh, (Eb)why? There must be (Bb)peace and un der (Gm)stand ing (Eb)some time, strong winds of (Bb)prom (Dm)ise that will (Gm)blow a way the (Eb6)doubt and (F7)fear. If I can (Bb)dream of a (Bb7)warm er sun where (Eb)hope keeps shin in’ on (D7)ev er y (Gm)one, tell (Gdim7)me (Bb)why, oh, (Gm)why, oh, (Eb)why (Cm7)can’t my (Dm)dream (Gm)come (Cm7)true?

But as long as a (Edim7)man has the (Bb)strength (D7)to dream, he can re (C9)deem his soul and (Cm7)fly. He can (G)fly. (G7)Deep in my (C)heart there’s a (Am)trem blin’ (F6)ques tion. Still I am (C)sure that the (Am)an swer’s gon na (Dm)come some (G7)how. Out (F)there in the (C)dark, there’s a beck on ing (F7)can dle. And while I can (C)think, while I can (Am)talk, while I can (C)stand, while I can (Am)walk, while I can (Fmaj7)dream, please let my (Dm7)dream come (Dm7)true (G7)right (C)now.
