If I Can Dream (Elvis Presley cover) Lyrics

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere, my friends
Got to be birds, 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, tell me why, why can't I dream you

There must be peace and understanding somewhere out there
Strong winds of hope, hope and promise are gonna blow away the hate
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where all my brothers are havin' fun
Tell me why, tell me why, why can't I dream you

We're lost in a cloud with too much rain
We're trapped in a world full of trouble, trouble and pain
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
He can redeem himself and fly

Deep in my heart there's a burning, burning question, brother man
And I know the answer, why, I know the answer is coming my way
Alone in the darkness, well I'm not afraid
'Cause I can dream, I can walk
I can breathe, I can talk
I can do, I can scream
I can na--, I can m--
I wanna see my dream, I wanna see my dream
Come true
My dream come true, my dream come true
My dream come true, my dream come true
My dream come true

We're lost in a cloud with too much rain
We're trapped in a world full of trouble, trouble and pain
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
He can redeem himself and fly

Deep in my heart there's a burning, burning question, brother man
And I know the answer, why, I know the answer is coming my way
Alone in the darkness, well I'm not afraid 
'Cause I can dream, I can walk
I can breathe, I can talk
I can do, I can scream
I can na--, I can m--
I wanna see my dream, I wanna see my dream
Come true
My dream come true, my dream come true
My dream come true, my dream come true
My dream come true

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
