Tell Me Why

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 – ’cause 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?

Tell me why...

Why, why – does the tiger run?
Why, why – do we shoot the gun?
Why, why – do we never learn?
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?

Why, why – do we say we care?
Why, why – do we stand and stare?
Why, why – do the dolphins cry?
Can someone tell us why we let the ocean die?

Why, why – if we’re all the same?
Why, why – do we pass the blame?
Why, why – does it never end?
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends?
