Boy sings what could be the theme of the 2008 election: "Tell Me Why!"
A very beautiful song sung by a boy (Declan Galbraith). Tell my why does it have to be like this:

Lyrics:

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

Every day 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, 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

Why why, do the tiders run
Why why, do we shoot the gun
Why why, do we never learn
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be freinds
Why Why.

1. It is a beautiful song - We should also dedicate it to Sapphire Blue

who worked tirelessly to get others to understand almost exactly what he's singing about.

To Sapphire Blue - safe journey
May she fly with the angels.

2. I'm happy to give this a K & R. I often wonder the same things myself.
He has a truly angelic voice.

Thanks for posting it. :)
