In my dream, children sing
a song of love for every boy and girl.
The sky is blue, the 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, does it have to be like this
Tell me why, is there something I have missed
Tell me 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 this what my life is for?
To waste in a world full of war
Tell me why, does it have to be like this
Tell me why, is there something I have missed
Tell me why, cos I don’t understand,
when so many need somebody,
we don’t give a helping hand..
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Just tell me why
tell me why
does it have to be like this
Tell me why, cos I don’t understand,
when so many need somebody,
we don’t give a helping hand.
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
can someone tell us why we let the forest burn
tell me why
can someone tell us why we let the ocean die
tell me why
can someone tell us why we can not just be friends
why why
extended words…
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 someone 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 someone tell us why we cannot just be friends?
Why,why,(do we close our eyes)
Why,why,(do the greedy life)
Why,why,(do we fight for land)
Can someone tell us why ‘cos we don’t understand?
Why,why?!
