    Tell Me Why

         
     
            The sixteen-year-old boy, Declan Galbraith, is an talent English singer of Scottish and Irish origin. He is known for the control and range of his voice, as well as his ability to interpret and adapt material of differing genres. At the age of 2, Declan started singing at local talent competitions and won sixteen titles in just fourteen months. Declan was involved in a 2002 Guinness World Record, where during a tour of 'Young Voices', he was simultaneously linked with more than 80,000 children from all over the country who accompanied him in achieving the world’s largest choral singalong.
     
                                                 
     
             Tell Me Why is one of the most famous songs in his first single which was released when he was 11 year old. This song talks about the human's pursuit of love and peace. Shocked at the news about the deadliest shooting rampage in American history on April 16, I was speechless. In the past days, the whole United States have been in the deep sorrow over 32 victims at Virginia Tech. There's nothing else that can explain my feeling about this disaster except this song.
     
              God Bless All These Broken Hearts and Their Families!
     
    Tell Me Why
     
            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
    Chorus:
    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?
    chorus:
    (children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why?
    (children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why
    (together) just tell me why, why, why?
    chorus:
    chorus chant:
    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)
