| TELL ME WHY |
| 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 fall of people in need. Chorus: 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? 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? Chorus: (Children) Tell Me Why? (Declan) Tell Me Why? (Children) Tell Me Why? (Declan) Tell Me Why? (Together) Just tell me why, why, why? Chorus: Chorus Chant: 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 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 (do we close our eyes) Why, why (do the greedy lie.) Why, why (do we fight for land) Can someone tell us why cos we don't understand? Why, why?? |
