Tell me why

一首很有意思的歌，由一個九、十歲的男孩唱的。

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) cos i don’t understand
When so many need somebody
We don’t give a helping hand Tell me why?
Everyday 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?tell me why?
tell me why?tell me why?
just tell me why, why, why?

Tell me why (why,why,does the tiger 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 forest burn?
(why,why do we say we care)
Tell me why(why,why)

夢中的世界是十分美好，
可惜睡醒時發覺真實世界中，很多人都需要我們的援助，
歌者不明白,為什麼世界各地有那麼多戰爭,而我們卻不伸出援手，
他又自問作為一個男人，是否要加入戰爭，才能證明給別人知自己的存在，
人生是否就是為了戰爭?

聽完這首歌後，突然有點感觸，因為令我想起第一次和第二次世界大戰。(我是讀文科的!!!!)
