以下是歌詞：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)

"cosI don"t understand

when so many need somebody

we don"t give a helping hand

Tell me why

Every day

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 far

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

Tell me why (why)

"cos I don"t understand

when so many need somebody

we don"t give a helping hand

Tell me why (Tell me why)

Tell me why (Tell me why)

Tell me why (Tell me why)

Just 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

when so many need somebody

we don"t give a helping hand

Tell me why

(Why why does the tiger fun)

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 someone tell us why we let the ocean die

(Why why if we"re all the same)

Tell me why

(Why why do we pass and blame)

Tell me why

(Why why does it never end)

Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends

Why why (do we close our eyes)

Can someone tell us why "cos we don"t understand

Why why (do the greedy life)

Why why (do we fight for land)

Why why
