A very nice & touching song by a young boy called:
Declan Galbraith, he's 16 years now. He has a GREAT voice!

Tell Me Why?

The lyrics:
In my dreams, Children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue, the 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) cause I 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 for?
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) cause 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 (why, why, 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) cause I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why (Why why, does the tigers run?)
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 forests burn

(why why do we say we can?) tell me why
(why why is it still the same?) tell me why
(why why do we talk and run?) tell me why
can someone tell us why we let the ocean die

(why why do we always say?) tell me why
(why why do we pass the blame?) tell me why
(why why does it never rain?)
can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends

why why?

Enjoy :)

I really really like this. The song is well written, well composed, emotionally powerful, speaks a message. I would see myself getting slightly irritated by the singing tone a couple of hours of continues listening to it, but this is really well done.

Craig David, Gareth Gates and Christina Millian would have pefect voices for this song. It would be the best song ever.

He got the expression & all that. But, his voice is too young to sing a such song. Well done for the music.

I don't know about the lyrics. In my opinion it would have been better if the lyrics were focused on one issue.

Not: forests are being burnt .... la la la .... we're not being educated .... la la la .... tigers are being shot ...

Well, I partially agree with you. I myself sometimes have many questions that keeps on crossing my mind & end with "Tell Me Why?!".
Many things in life force us to ask "Why?!". So, it was very logical to bring in many issues at once in this song .
