［欣赏］Tell Me Why!

WHY?
Human beings are evils when it comes to their greed
Wars are their last strike before they demolish this planet

DOES IT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS?
No, but sometimes you are forced to defeat evil forces and our biggest enemy is ourselves.

In my dream children sing a song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue and fields are green and laughter is the language of the world
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need

Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand
When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand
Tell me why?

Everyday I ask myself what will I have to do to be a man?
Do I have to stand and fight to prove to everybody who I am?
Is that what my life is for to waste in a world full of war?

Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand
When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand
Tell me why?

(children) tell me why? (declan) tell me why?
(children) tell me why? (declan) tell me why?
(together) just tell me why, why, why?

Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand
When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand.

Tell me why (why,why,does the tiger run)
Tell me why (why why do we shoot the gun)
Tell me why (why,why do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?

(why,why do we say we care)
Tell me why (why,why do we stand and stare)
Tell me why (why,why do the dolphins cry)
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die ?

(why,why if we're all the same)
tell me why (why,why do we pass the blame)
tell me why (why,why does it never end)
can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?

很早就听到这歌了。 一个小孩能唱出这种歌的确让人感动。歌曲后面男孩呐喊似的疑问．．却又象是无助的呼喊，用一个孩子纯洁的思想去思考这个世界，却发现世界居然拥有着那样多的污点．失望也好，愤慨也好， 这种发自内心的质问，试问我们这些大人们．．又能为他们提供什么呢？

英国的这个小男孩Declan Galbraith，4岁开始展露歌唱天赋；8岁那年，他开始参加一些音乐比赛，并在14个月中曾经获得16个大奖。他获得了词作家Barry Mason的欣赏，从此一发不可收.那时候他才9岁。据传好几家唱片公司争相与他签约，最后Emi（百代）以超过百万英镑之巨，签了他3年，并承诺发行3张唱片。 他今年12岁了。
