Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Why?

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Why?

I can hear children crying
I can see people dying
And I'm wondering
Why?

Our leaders keep on lying
Stealing, cheating, vying
While we're being left
Behind

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Why?

Who on earth can dry those tears
Then take away all their fears
And all the pain they have inside

Let's send flowers instead of bombs
Hold more hands and drop the guns
Light up the love, put out the fight

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Why?

Many religions and races
Different cultures and faces
You can love them if you try

The world as a family
Seems like a dream out of reach
I'll keep this dream alive

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Why?
