"Early in the morning my mother gave me these eggs to sell them in the street in order to buy food. It was too cold to hold these in my frozen hands. The eggs were supposed to help us survive, but I do not know how I am going to be back like this..." the child said crying...

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? Tell me why? Tell me why? Tell me why? Just tell me why, why, why?
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 do we say we care?
Tell me why do we stand and stare Tell me why do the dolphins cry Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die? Why if we're all the same
Tell me why do we pass the blame Tell me why does it never end Can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?
