Tell Me Why (оригинал Declan Galbraith)

In 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?
 [bad word] 

Tell me why (why,why does the [bad word] 
Tell me why (why, why do we shoot the gun)
Tell me why (why,why do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?

(Why,why do we say we care)
Tell me why (why,why do we stand and stare)
Tell me why (why,why do the dolphins cry)
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die ?

(Why,why if we're all the same)
Tell me why (why,why do we pass the blame)
Tell me why (why,why does it never end)
Can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?  
Why, why?

 

Tell Me Why

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.

В моём сне дети поют
Песню любви для каждого мальчика и девочки.
Небо там голубое, поля зелёные,
А смех - язык мира.
Потом я просыпаюсь, и всё, что я вижу,
Это мир, полный нуждающихся людей.

[Припев:]
Скажите мне, почему (почему) всё должно быть так?
Скажите мне, почему (почему)? Может быть, я что-то упустил?
Скажите мне, почему (почему), так как я не понимаю,
Когда столько людей нуждается в ком-то,
Мы не протягиваем руку помощи.
Скажите мне, почему?

Каждый день я спрашиваю себя,
Что мне нужно будет сделать, чтобы быть Человеком?
Должен ли я стоять и сражаться,
Чтобы доказать всем, кто я?
Для этого ли моя жизнь,
Чтобы потратить её в мире, где идёт бесконечная война?

[Припев]

(дети) Скажите мне, почему?
(Деклан) Скажите мне, почему
