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 (why) does it have to be like this? Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed? Tell me why (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 (why) does it have to be like this? Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed? Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand. When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand. Tell me why?
