Tell me why?

This a most amazing child singing a very moving song. I am posting the words here. I believe that this song epitomizes the feelings of our youth today. I know I felt, and still do, like this child.

As an Indigo Adult, I feel the need, and always have, to right the wrongs in this world. It has been engrained in my being since I was born. Part of what I do to achieve this is bring issues to the attention of people.

Fifteen years ago I was the Founding President of Just People Equal Rights Society. We , among other things, met with politicians and members of panels that had the authority and means to change the antiquated laws prevailing.

Although we had not reached a "critical mass" back then, I believe that the time has come now and in the near future. Let's make a difference. Let us save this world and help heal her, something that our children and their children will be proud of us for doing.

Declan Galbraith 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

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?

Why, Why?

When there are many dreaming at the same time,
it is the beginning of a new reality ..."
