Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

If I Can Dream

There must be lights burning brighter, somewhere

Got to be birds, flying higher in a sky more blue

If I can dream of a better land

Where all my brothers walk hand in hand

Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

Oh why

There will 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 is shining on everyone

Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't that sun appear

We're caught in a cloud, with too much rain

We're lost in a world, with too much pain

But as long as a man, has the strength to dream

He can redeem his soul and fly, and fly

Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question

But I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow

Out there in the dark, there's a burning candle

And if I can think, if I can talk

If I can stand, if I can walk, if I can dream

I'll make my dream come true

Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question

But I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow

Out there in the dark, there's a burning candle

And if I can think, if I can talk

If I can stand, if I can walk, if I can dream

I'll make my dream come true

Right, right now right now

Please make my dream come true

Right now
