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,(why) does it have to be like this   Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed   Tell me why, (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 it have to be like this   Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed   Tell me why,(why) cause I don't understand   When so many needs 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, 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) cause I don't understand   When so many need somebody   We don't give a helping hand   Tell me why (Why why, does the tigers 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 forests burn      (why why do we say we can?) tell me why   (why why is it still the same?) tell me why   (why why do we talk and run?) tell me why   can someone tell us why we let the ocean die      (why why do we always say?) tell me why   (why why do we pass the blame?) tell me why   (why why does it never rain?)   can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends      (why why do we close our eyes?)   (why why do we really lie?)   (why why do we fight for land?)   can someone tell us why cause we don't understand   why why?
