Declan - Tell Me Why lyrics

rate me

ahmad hssn on the beat

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,(why) does it have to be like this?

Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed?

Tell me why, (why) cause I don't understand

When so many need somebody

We don't give a helping hand

Tell me why

Every day, 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) does it have to be like this?

Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed?

Tell me why,(why) cause 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 (Tell me why)

Tell me why (Tell me why)

Just tell me why (why, why, why)

Tell me why, (why) does it have to be like this?

Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed?

Tell me why, (why) cause I don't understand

When so many need somebody

We don't give a helping hand

Tell me why (Why why, does the tiger run?)

Tell me why (Why why, do we shoot the gun?)

Tell me why (Why why, do we never learn?)

Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?

(why why do we say we care?) tell me why

(why why do we stand and stare?) tell me why

(why why do the dolphins cry?)

can someone 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 someone tell us why we cannot just be friends?

(why why do we close our eyes?)

(why why do we really lie?)

(why why do we fight for land?)

can someone tell us why cause we don't understand?

why why?

[In the video, the last chorus is cut. In the radio version of the song, the last chorus has been repeated once more before the very end.]

(In the 2nd paragraph first line instead of being

"tell me boo" its "tell me why")
