Tell me why - Declan Galbraith

What a powerful message the song sends out! The impact is even greater that is sung by a young artist in his sweet, boyish and emotionally charged voice. The world he sees is different from his dream. He doesn’t understand why it is so? I think we too don’t understand.

The song hits many, makes many think and feel about contemporary issues. What is becoming of this world with endless armed conflicts, war, poverty, hunger, destruction of nature, the environment, wild life, greed etc.

A must see and must hear video. Very touching. Enjoy and reflect ….!


Lyrics:

In my dream
Children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl

This 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
Does it have to be like this
Tell me why
Is there something I have missed
Tell me why
Because I don't understand
When somebody needs somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why

Everyday
I ask myself
What 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
Does it have to be like this
Tell me why
Is there something I have missed
Tell me why
Because I don't understand
When somebody needs somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Just tell me why

Tell me why
Does it have to be like this
Tell me why
Is there something I have missed
Tell me why
Because I don't understand
When somebody needs somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why

Why why, do the tigers run
Why Why, do we shoot the gun
Why why, do we never learn

Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn
why, why do we say we care
Why, why do we stand and stare
Why, why do the dolphins cry
Can someone tell us why we let the ocean die

Why, why if we're all the same
why, why do we pass the blame
Why, why does it never end
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends
Why why
