[Intro]
Dreams of children singing in the breeze
A world of love, oh, how it should be
But waking up to sights so bleak
A world in need, so much to seek
[Verse 1]
Sky so blue, fields so green
Laughter ringing through the serene
Yet today I see the pain
Hearts so broken, tears in rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why (why)
Does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why)
Did I miss the gentle kiss?
Tell me why (why)
I can't understand
When we turn away, who takes a stand?
[Chorus]
Tell me why (why)
Is there something I missed?
Judging the world so cold, dismissed
Tell me why (why)
Cos I don’t understand
When so many are in need, we turn our hands
[Verse 2]
Everyday I ask myself
What it means to be a man
Is it fighting, is it strength?
Or reaching out with an open hand?
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why (why)
Does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why)
Did I miss the gentle kiss?
Tell me why (why)
I can't understand
When we turn away, who takes a stand?
[Chorus]
Tell me why (why)
Is there something I missed?
Judging the world so cold, dismissed
Tell me why (why)
Cos I don’t understand
When so many are in need, we turn our hands
[Bridge]
Can we learn to love again?
Find the strength within
Break these walls of indifference
Let kindness reign
[Outro]
Dream children singing once more
Hoping for a better shore
May their song be heard afar
Guide us to heal each scar
