Lyrics

There must be (Eb)lights burn in’ (Cm)bright er (Ab)some where. Got to be (Eb)birds fly in’ (Cm)high er in a (Ab)sky more (Bb7)blue. If I can (Eb)dream of a (Eb7)bet ter land where (Ab)all my broth ers work (G)hand in (Cm7)hand, tell me (Eb)why, oh (Cm7)why, oh (Ab)why (Fm7)can’t my (Gm7)dream (Cm7)come (Fm7)true? Oh (Ab)why? (Ab)There must be (Eb)peace and un der (Cm)stand ing (Ab)some time, strong winds of (Eb)prom ise that will (Cm7)blow a way the (Ab)doubt and fear. If I can (Eb)dream of a (Eb7)warm er sun where (Cm7)hope keeps shin in’ on ev er y one, tell me (Cm7)why, oh why, oh (Fm7)why won’t that sun ap (Ab7)pear? We’re lost in a (Adim7)cloud with too much rain. We’re trapped in a (Adim7)world that’s trou bled with pain. But as long as a (A)man has the (Eb)strength (Bdim7)to dream, he can re (F9)deem his soul and (Ab)fly. He can (C9)fly, he can (Bb)fly. Out there in the (F)dark there’s a beck on ing (Bdim7)can dle. And while I can (F)think! While I can (Dm7)talk! While I can (F)stand! While I can (Dm7)walk! If I can (Bbmaj7)dream, if I can (Dm7)dream! Won’t you please tell me (A)why? If I can (Bbmaj7)dream, if I can (Dm7)dream! I’ll make my (Dm7)dreams come (Bbmaj9)true right (F)now! Right (F)now!
