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 a difference, if you really try
Listen everybody and start to make it right
One and all together, you feel it from inside
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
Give me a reason, for this senseless cry
We can change it, why'd 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
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)
Won't you tell me, tell me why
(Oh oh oh oh)
Tell me why we fight
(Oh oh oh oh)
Tell me, tell me why
(Oh oh oh oh)
Won't you tell me why we fight
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
Tell me (tell me why)
(It echoes every night)
Why it echoes every night
(Why we fight)
So tell me why we fight
(Just to find who's wrong or right)
Just to find who'w wrong or right
(Don't let it slide)
Don't let it slide
(You can't run and hide)
Don't let it slide
(Tell me why)
Oh, won't you please tell me why
Game's 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
Color's don't make up what's right
Come with me and see the light
We can start the peace tonight
Let the music fill your life
Now's the time to realize
Don't be livin' in a lie,
Can't you hear the people's cry?
So tell me (tell me why)
(It echoes every night)
It echoes every night
(Why we fight)
So tell me why we fight
(Just to find who's wrong or right)
Just to find who's wrong or right
(Don't let it slide)
Don't let it slide
(You can't run and hide)
Can't run and hide
(Tell me why)
Oh, won't you please tell me why
(Oh oh oh oh) (repeat to fade)
