If I Can Dream - Elvis Presley - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"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," ponders Elvis Presley on this uplifting gospel-adjacent belter, which took direct inspiration from the iconic Martin Luther King Jr quote, “I Have a Dream”. Written by Walter Earl Brow, Elvis Presley recorded "If I Can Dream" in June 1968, just two months after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The recording was first put out into the world as the finale of Elvis Presley's Singer Presents ... Elvis (commonly referred to as the '68 Comeback Special), a televised concert of that aired on NBC December 3, 1968. When it was released as a single with “Edge of Reality” as the B-side in November 1968, the track went to Number 11 in the UK and Number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
