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 why
does it have to be like this
Tell me why why
is there something i have missed
Tell me why why
cos 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 why
does it have to be like this
Tell me why why
is there something i have missed
Tell me why why
cos 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
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
cos 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 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 some one 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 some one tell us why
we cannot just be friends
Why why
why why
