In my dream children sing
a song of love for every boy and girl
the sky is and fields are green and
is the language of the world
then I wake and all I see is a world of
people in __.

Tell me why (why)
does it be like this
Tell me why (why)
is there something I have Tell me why (why)
cause I don't understand when so many
need somebody we don't give a
Tell me why

what will I have to do to be a man

to prove to everybody who I am
is that what my life is for
to in a world full of war
