 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 the difference if we really try
 Listen everybody, and start to make it right
 One and all together, we 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?
 (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
 (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
 Give me a reason for all this senseless crime
 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 (tell me, tell me why)
 (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
 Tell me, tell me why
 (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
 Won't you tell me why we fight? (tell me, tell me why)
 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 (so tell me)
 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?
 Tell me why it echoes every night
 Why we fight just to find who's wrong or right?

 Games 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 (oh, oh-oh-oh)
 Colors 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 (oh, oh-oh-oh)
 Now's the time to realize
 Don't be living in a lie (oh, oh-oh-oh)
 Can't you hear the people's cry? (oh, oh-oh-oh)
 Can't you hear the people's cry? (tell me, tell me why)
