If I Can Dream

	  		    
              C              Am       F         G    
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere,    
          C            Am          F        G    
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue.    
         C          C7    
If I can dream of a better land    
      F                    F7    
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand,    
        C       Am      F             Em                                Dm   
Tell me why, oh why, oh why, can't my dream come true?   
     G    
 (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 shining everyone    
    
        C       Am      F              G                          C   C7   
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear?           

    
F               F7    C             C7    
We're lost in a cloud with too much rain,    
F                  F7    C                    C7    
We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain,    
F                F7          C           Am    
But as long as a man has the strength to dream    
         F                 G           A    
He can redeem his soul and fly, (he can fly)    
    
           D               Bm       G        A    
Deep in my heart there's a trembling question,    
           D             Bm                                             C       A   
Still I am sure that the answer, answer's going to come somehow.   
                 D   D7                   G     
Out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle,       
 Gm    
o yeah,    
                D                  Bm    
And while I can think, while I can talk,    
            D                  Bm     
While I can stand, while I can walk,    
            G    
While I can dream,    
                 Em    
Oh please let my dream    
     G    
Come true.    
      D   Bm                D   Bm    
Right now, let it come true now!    
  D    G   D    
O yeah!
