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.
