tell me why - Declan Galbraith

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 this 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?
