In my dreams, 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,(why) does it have to be like this Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed Tell me why, (why) cause I don't understand When so many need somebody We don't give a helping hand Tell me why Every day, 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, (why) does it have to be like this Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed Tell me why,(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 (Tell me why) Tell me why (Tell me why) Just tell me why (why, why, why) Tell me why, (why) does it have to be like this Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed Tell me why, (why) cause 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 forests burn? (why why do we say we care?) tell me why (why why do we stand and stare?) tell me why (why why does the dolphin cry?) tell me why 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 why does it never end?) can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends? why? why?
