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
'cause 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
'cause 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, why, why?
Tell me why
does it have to be like this?
Tell me why
is there something I have missed?
Tell me why
'cause I don't understand
When so many need somebody
we don't give a helping hand
Tell me why
does the tiger run?
Tell me why
do we shoot the gun?
Tell me 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 does it never end?
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends?
Why, why?
