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 because I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why?
Everyday I ask myself
What 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 because 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 because I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why?
why, why, do the tigers run
why why do we shoot the gun
why, why do we never learn
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?
why, why do we say we care
why, why do we stand and stare
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
why, why do we pass the blame
why, why does it never end
Can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?
Why, why
