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 does it have to be like this
Tell me 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 a 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 cos I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me wa hay
Tell me wa hi
Tell me wa hay
Just tell me why
Tell me why does it have to be like this
Tell me why is there someyhing 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
Tell me why
Tell me why
Can Someone tell us why we let the forest burn
Tell me why
Tell me why
Can someone tell us why we let ocean die
Tell me why
Tell me why
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends
