英语歌曲:If I Can Dream

If I Can Dream
演唱者：Elvis Presley

英文歌词
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 must be peace and understanding sometime¹
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
Every doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining for everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped² in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem³ his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there's a tremblin' question
Still I am sure that the answer the answer's gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning⁴ candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true......right now
