［欣賞］Tell Me Why!

WHY?
Human beings are evils when it comes to their greed
Wars are their last strike before they demolish this planet

DOES IT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS?
No, but sometimes you are forced to defeat evil forces and our biggest enemy is ourselves.

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 (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?

(children) tell me why? (declan) tell me why?
(children) tell me why? (declan) tell me why?
(together) just tell me why, why, why?

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 (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 do we stand and stare)
Tell me why (why,why do the dolphins cry)
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die ?

(why,why if we're all the same)
tell me why (why,why do we pass the blame)
tell me why (why,why does it never end)
can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?

很早就聽到這歌了。 一個小孩能唱出這種歌的確讓人感動。歌曲後麵男孩呐喊似的疑問．．卻又象是無助的呼喊，用一個孩子純潔的思想去思考這個世界，卻發現世界居然擁有著那樣多的汙點．失望也好，憤慨也好， 這種發自內心的質問，試問我們這些大人們．．又能為他們提供什麽呢？

英國的這個小男孩Declan Galbraith，4歲開始展露歌唱天賦；8歲那年，他開始參加一些音樂比賽，並在14個月中曾經獲得16個大獎。他獲得了詞作家Barry Mason的欣賞，從此一發不可收.那時候他才9歲。據傳好幾家唱片公司爭相與他簽約，最後Emi（百代）以超過百萬英鎊之巨，簽了他3年，並承諾發行3張唱片。 他今年12歲了。
