If I Can Dream (lyrics)

I was searching around on the web and found the lyrics to "If I Can Dream."

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 must be peace and understanding sometime.
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
all the doubt and fear.
If I can dream of a warmer sun,
where hope keeps shining on 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 trapped in a world
that's troubled with pain.
But as long as a man
has the strength to dream
he can redeem his soul
and fly...

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question.
Still I am sure, that the answer's
gonna come somehow.
Out there in the dark,
there's a beckoning candle, yeah.

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.

Written by Elvis Aron Presley (January 8, 1935-August 16, 1977)

If I Can Dream

Check out this Elvis vid. It is from the "68 Comeback Special" concert. It is one of the most touching Elvis songs from the middle to late era of his career. The song is called "If I Can Dream." Even if you aren't an Elvis fan you will be moved to tears. It is the same song, but two dif performances spliced together.
Listen closely to his words. The whole song sums up how I feel about the state of our country, the direction the Republican Party has taken and the direction it needs to be taken back to, why I Like Mike, Mike Huckabee's speeches.
The way Mike Huckabee speaks reminds me of the way Elvis sings, except Mike doesn't swivel his hips when he talks. No offense, but I don't want to see that. What I am talking about is they are/were both fluid and natural with their forums of speaking. They speak/spoke with their heart and soul. It's that naturalness that makes Mike so great.



If it were up to me I would choose this as Mike's theme song. Fortunately, for the campaign, it's not up to me ;).
