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,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

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 the tigers run?
Tell me why, why do we shoot the gun?
Tell me why, why do we never learn?

Can someone tell us why we let the forests burn

why do we say we care?
why do we stand and stare?
why do the dolphins cry?
can someone tell us why we let the ocean die

why if we're all the same?
why do we pass the blame?
why does it never end?
can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends

why do we close our eyes?
why do we really lie?
why do we fight for land?
can someone tell us why cause we don't understand
