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?
