There must be lights burning brighter somewhere We’re lost in a cloud Deep in my heart there’s a trembling question ELVIS IS STILL ALIVE Courtesy of MustangLoverMex Martin Luther King Jr. was shot in April 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968, Quote Courtesy of ElvisTribute.us Elvis Presley's '68 "comeback special" TV show (December 3, 1968) You can feel the shock waves the show made. Elvis looks gorgeous and he knows it; Heavens Gates Divisions
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
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
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
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle
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
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

and later in June Elvis is recording his '68 "comeback special" TV show - his first public
performance after years of filming. The song "If I can dream" was written to be the closing
number for this TV show, and is alluding back to the recent events.
you see joy, command, and a certain slyness. In moments he reminds you of Sean Connery's
James Bond. He takes that 007 you-must-be-kidding- me grin as his own, and it serves him perfectly.
The persona adds a kind of weight to the last song of the show;
when Elvis sings If I Can Dream, acknowledging the murders, only weeks and days before,
of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy, and in a way refusing their deaths,
his passion seems to come from experience, not a script.
