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 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

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

(children) tell me why? (declan) tell me why
(children) tell me why? (declan) tell me why
(together) just tell me why, why, why

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.

 
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn

why,why do we say we care
Tell me why,why do we stand and stare
Tell me why,why do the dolphins cry
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die 

why,why if we're all the same
tell me why why,why do we pass the blame
tell me why why,why does it never end
can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends
