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
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 that 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?
Tell me why? Tell me why?
just tell me why why why?

 

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
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?

 

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?!
