Lyrics
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Expressing a longing for a brighter and better place.
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
Desiring a world with higher aspirations and a clearer, more vibrant sky.
If I can dream of a better land
Dreaming of an ideal land or society.
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Yearning for unity and harmony among all people.
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
Pondering the obstacles preventing the realization of the dream.
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Expressing a hope for peace and understanding at some point.
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and the fear
Anticipating the arrival of promises and positive change to dispel doubt and fear.
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Imagining a world with a warmer and more inviting sun.
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Desiring a hopeful environment for everyone.
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
Questioning the absence of the envisioned positive change.
We're lost in a cloud
Describing a sense of confusion or uncertainty.
With too much rain
Conveying the idea of being overwhelmed by challenges and difficulties.
We're trapped in a world
Expressing a feeling of being trapped in a troubled world.
That's troubled with pain
Highlighting the existence of pain and suffering.
But as long as a man
Emphasizing the enduring power of a person's dreams.
Has the strength to dream
Believing in the ability to redeem one's soul through strength and dreams.
He can redeem his soul and fly
Encouraging resilience and the potential for personal growth.
Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Revealing an inner question or uncertainty.
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Expressing confidence in the eventual resolution of the question.
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
Portraying a distant but hopeful symbol (candle) in the darkness.
And while I can think, while I can talk
Asserting the importance of thought, speech, and action while one has the capacity.
While I can stand, while I can walk
Emphasizing the urgency of utilizing physical abilities to make a difference.
While I can dream, please let my dream
Stressing the importance of continuing to dream amid challenges.
Come true
Making a plea for the realization of the dream.
