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, I don't understand

When somebody needs somebody

We don't give a helping hand

Tell me why



Every day I ask myself what 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, does it have to be like this

Tell me why, is there something I have missed

Tell me why, I don't understand

When somebody needs somebody

We don't give a helping hand

Tell me why

Tell me why

Tell me why

Just tell me why



Why why, do the tiders run

Why why, do we shoot the gun

Why why, do we never learn

Can someone tell us why we cannot just be freinds

Why Why.
