If I Can Dream Lyrics by Cheyenne Jackson

All Shook Up (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2005

[CHAD]
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 of my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why
Oh, why
Oh, why can’t my dream come true?
Oh, why?
[LORRAINE]
There must be peace and understanding sometime
[DEAN]
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
[LORRAINE & DEAN]
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell my why
Oh, why
Oh, why won’t that sun appеar?
[CHAD]
We’re lost in a cloud
[LORRAINE]
With too much rain!
[DEAN]
We’rе trapped in a world
[LORRAINE]
That’s troubled with pain!
[CHAD, LORRAINE & DEAN, ENSEMBLE]
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul
And fly, He can fly
He can fly, He can fly
He can fly! He can fly so high!
[ALL]
Deep in his heart, there’s a trembling question
Still, I am sure that the answer’s gonna come somehow!
[CHAD, LORRAINE & DEAN, ENSEMBLE]
Out there in the dark
In the dark!
There’s a beckoning candle!
Beckoning, Ooh
And while I can think
Think!
While I can talk
Talk!
While I can stand
While I can walk, Stand and walk
If I can dream, Of a warmer sun
If I can dream! For everyone!
Won’t you please tell me why, Dream
If I can dream, Of a better land!
If I can dream! We’ll walk hand in hand!
[CHAD, (ENSEMBLE)]
I’ll make my dreams come true! (Ooh)
[LORRAINE & DEAN, (ENSEMBLE)]
We’ll make our dreams come true! (Ooh)
[CHAD, LORRAINE & DEAN]
Right now!
[ENSEMBLE]
Follow that dream, wherever that dream may lead
Right now!
