| Lyrics: | (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?
