tell me why - Declan Galbraith

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?



歌词大意：在梦里，我们唱着那一首献给所有男孩女孩为了爱的歌，天空湛蓝，大地草绿，笑声是全世界唯一通用的语言。但当我惊醒，我看到的是饿殍遍地, 告诉我为什么（为什么？）因为是上天注定的吗？告诉为什么（为什么？）是否只是因为我没有察觉，告诉我为什么（为什么？）我不明白，当我们面对诸多祈求时，我们只会袖手旁观，告诉我为什么?



每一天，我扪心自问，如何努力才能成为一个男子汉，难道非要无休止得忍受和争斗，来向世人证明自己吗？这就是我漫长的生命吗？在炮火横行的世界中慢慢消逝？告诉我为什么（为什么？）这是上天注定的吗？告诉我为什么（为什么？）是否只是因为我没有察觉，告诉我为什么（为什么？）我不明白，为什么当我们面对诸多祈求时，我们只会袖手旁观，告诉我为什么（告诉我为什么？）告诉我为什么（告诉我为什么？）告诉我为什么（告诉我为什么？）快告诉我，告诉我为什么，世界必须是这样的么？告诉我为什么，是否只是因为我没有察觉，告诉我为什么，我不明白，为什么当我们面对诸多祈求时，我们只会袖手旁观！



告诉我为什么！（为什么物种在灭绝？）告诉我为什么！（为什么枪炮要开火？）告诉我为什么！（为什么我们从不知悔改？）有没有人能告诉我们为什么森林被付之一炬？（为什么我们只是装作慷慨）！告诉我为什么（为什么我们纵容旁观！）告诉我为什么！（为什么海豚要哀鸣！）有没有人能告诉我，为什么海洋被夺去蓝色？大地被黑色污染！（为什么不能人人平等！）告诉我为什么！（为什么我们只会抱怨！）告诉我为什么，（为什么永远没用尽头！）有没有人能告诉我，为什么做不成朋友！为什么（我们视而不见？）为什么（我们要享受贪婪？）为什么（我们要为土地而战？）有没有人能告诉我为什么，我们根本就不明白这到底是为了什么！告诉我为什么！为什么！！！
