n my dream, children sing
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

 [bad word] ]
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?

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?

 [bad word] 

(children) Tell me why?
(Declan) Tell me why?
(children) Tell me why?
(Declan) Tell me why?
(together) Just tell me why, why, why?
