[Verse]
              
There must be 

             
lights burning

           
 brighter some

       
where
             
Got to be bird

          
s flying highe

          
r in a sky mor

  
e blue
             
If I can dream

          
 of a better l


and
             
Where all my b

             
rothers walk h

      
and in hand
           
Tell me why, o

           
h why, oh why 

        
can't my dream

         
 come true    

   |    |
 oh, why


[Verse]
              
There must be 

             
peace and unde

           
rstanding some

       
time
              
Strong winds o

           
f promise that

            
 will blow awa

          
y the doubt an

  
d fear
             
If I can dream

          
 of a warmer s


un
             
Where hope kee

              
ps shining on

Tell me why, o

           
h why, oh why 

        
won't that sun

[Middle 8]
             
 We're lost in

      
 a cloud      

              
with too much 


rain
             
 We're trapped

         
 in a world   

             
   that's trou

        
bled with pain
             
 But as long a

         
s a man has th

        
e strength to 

# 
  dream
         
He can redeem 

            
his soul and f

/

[Verse] (+ coda)
             
Deep in my hea

             
rt there's a t

            
rembling quest

Still I am sur

         
e that the ans

ehow
              
Out there in t

             
he dark, there

And while I ca
