(Oh oh oh oh)
|
(Oh oh oh oh)
|
|
Echoes thunder almost every night
|
Why this prison if we're all alike?
|
Look around you, look at all your friends
|
Tell me, are they just what they pretend?
|
|
Listen to my story if you have the time
|
Yes, we'll make the difference if we really try
|
Listen, everybody, and start to make it right
|
One and all together, feel it from inside
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Tell me why it echoes every night,
|
Why we fight just to find who's wrong or right
|
Don't let it slide, you can't run and hide
|
Tell me why, oh, won't you please tell me why?
|
|
(Oh oh oh oh)
|
(Oh oh oh oh)
|
|
Give me a reason for all this senseless crime
|
We can change it, why they have to die
|
Think of the children, tomorrow's their future
|
Don't make them feel it's just another day
|
|
Tell me, anybody, why can't we live together,
|
End all the fighting, erase it all forever?
|
Listen for this reason before it gets too late
|
Soon, there will be no one, no one left to hate
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Oh oh oh oh, tell me, tell me why
|
Oh oh oh oh, tell me, tell me why
|
Oh oh oh oh, tell me, tell me why
|
Oh oh oh oh, tell me, tell me why
|
|
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
|
|
So, tell me, anybody, why can't we live together,
|
End all the fighting, erase it all forever?
|
Listen for this reason before it gets too late
|
Soon, there will be no one, no one left to hate
|
|
CHORUS (2x)
|
|
Games are not where it's at
|
Give it up, no time for that
|
Imagine people, hand in hand
|
No more fighting in this land
|
Red, yellow, black, or white
|
Colors don't make up what's right
|
Come with me and see the light
|
We can start the peace tonight
|
Make the music fill your life
|
Now's the time to realize
|
Don't be living in a lie
|
Can't you hear the people's cry?
|
|
Can't you hear the people's cry?
|
(fade out)
