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
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?
Everyday 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)
