Verse 1: B E B Let me tell a tale I beg you all to listen G#m E B I think you’ll recognize that every word is true. B E B It’s the story that I tell about my brother G#m E B The brother that I loved but hardly knew. Verse 2: B E B We were forced to live so far from one another G#m E B But it was more than distance keeping him from me. B E B While I had the right to lead the life I’d chosen G#m E B All he yearned for was the day that he’d be free.
Chorus: G#m E F# How I dreamed that one day we could be together G#m E B Doing all the things that brothers do. F# E G#m But I feared that I would have to dream forever F# E B For only dreamers still believe that dreams come true. Verse 3: B E B I fought with all my strength to gain his freedom G#m E B And challenged those who dared keep us apart. B E B I pleaded for compassion, “he’s my brother,” G#m E B But there’s no mercy when the soul is cold and dark. Verse 4: B E B The years and decades followed one another G#m E B And I worried what they must have done to him. B E B Though the flame that made us brothers was still burning G#m E B I knew that tiny spark was growing dim. Chorus: G#m E F# How I dreamed that one day we could be together G#m E B Doing all the things that brothers do. F# E G#m But I feared that I would have to dream forever F# E B For only dreamers still believe that dreams come true. Verse 5: B E B But He who rules the world heard our prayers G#m E B How I wept the day they set my brother free. B E B And I wondered, would he find faith with his freedom G#m E B In my heart I knew that it was up to me. Verse 6: B E B Oh I realized the first time that I embraced him G#m E B He’s a stranger who feels awkward and alone. B E B But I have just what it takes to make him welcome G#m E B A brother’s love to make him feel at home. Chorus: G#m E F# How I dreamed that one day we could be together G#m E B Doing all the things that brothers do. F# E G#m But I feared that I would have to dream forever F# E B For only dreamers still believe that dreams come true. G#m E F# How I dreamed that one day we could be together G#m E B Doing all the things that brothers do F# E G#m Now that day has come and it will last forever. F# E F# E For I know and I believe, yes I know and I believe F# E B I’m a dreamer who believes that dreams come true.
