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 

Chorus:
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?

Chorus:
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?

tell me why?
tell me why?

Chorus:
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?


Tell me why 
Tell me why
