Tell Me Why
In a 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 does it have to be like this?
Tell me why is there something I have missed?
Tell me why cos I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why!
Everyday ask yourself : what will I have to do to be a man?
Do I have to stand and fught?
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 does it have to be like this?
Tell me why is there something I have missed?
Tell me why cos I don't understand
why
why
