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

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

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

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 fun

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 and blame

Tell me why

Why why does it never end

Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends

Why why
