作曲 : Barry Mason/Ian Mackeith/Stuart Mackeith
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?
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Just tell me why?
Just tell me why, oh
Oh, yeah, why why if we're all the same
Why why do we pass the blame
Why why does it never end
Can some one tell us why, and just tell me why
Why why if we're all the same
Why why do we pass the blame
Why why does it never end
Can some one tell us why we can not just be friend
Why why if we're all the same
Why why do we pass the blame
Why why does it never end
Can some one tell us why 'cos we don't understand
