F#5          A5                D5                              C#5
In my dream , children sing a song of love for every boy and girl.
F#5                  A5                    D5                               C#5
The sky is blue and fields are green and laughter is the language of the world.
  D5                    E5        D5                       C#5
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need.

Chorus:
        F#5                A5
Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
         D5                 C#5
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
        F#5           A5                          D5
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand. 
         D5                        C#5
When so many need somebody. don't give a helping hand. 
        F#5
Tell me why?

F#5          A5               D5                        C#5
Every day I ask myself what will I have to do to be a man?
F#5            A5                  D5                      C#5
Do I have to stand and fight to prove to everybody who I am?
D5                        E5      D5                       C#5
Is that what my life is for to waste in a world full of war?
