[Primeira Parte]

              C              Am       F         G
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
          C    E7      Am     G    F        G
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
         C          C7
If I can dream of a better land
      F                    E7      Am
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
        C       Am
Tell me why, oh why?
    F            C      Am   Dm  G
Oh, why can't my dreams come true? Oh, why?

[Segunda Parte]

             C               Am       F        G
There must be peace and understanding sometime
               C      E7         Am        G   F         G
Strong wind of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
         C          C7
If I can dream of a warmer sun
      F                     E7   Am
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
        C       Am      F   Dm         E7  G  C   F C
Tеll me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

[Refrão]

F                F#   C
 We'rе lost in a cloud with too much rain
F                   F#   C
 We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain
F                 F#m         G        E7 Am
 But as long as a man has the strength to dream
         Dm                G    A
He can redeem his soul and fly, oh

[Terceira Parte]

           D                Bm        G        A
Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question
            D   F#m       Bm
Still, I am sure that the answer's
         E              A
Answer's gonna come somehow
                 D   D7                    G     G#
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah

[Final]

                A                  Bm
And while I can think, while I can talk
            A                  Bm
While I can stand, while I can walk
            G
While I can dream, oh
              E          A               D    Bm  D Bm
Please let my dream come true, oh, right now
D G       D
Oh, right now
