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
Cos 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 far 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

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
Just tell me why
Tell me why
Does it have to be like this

Tell me why
Is there something I have missed
Tell me 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

Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn

Tell me why

Tell me why

Can someone tell us why we let the ocean die

Tell me why

Tell me why

Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends

Why why
