听之我见:Tell Me Why这首歌选自Declan Galbraith2002年发表的同名专辑。那时候,Declan仅有10岁,但是他却表现出完全不同于10岁小孩的唱功。那稚嫩的歌声却能唱出真挚的感情,对世间许多的现象提出了质疑:为什么大家可以对许多需要帮助的人们视而不见?是不是必须通过争强狠斗,才能够证明自己是个什么样的人?
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
Does it have to be like this
Tell me why
Is there something I have missed
Tell me why
Cos' I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why
Every day
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)
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 someone 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 someone tell us why we cannot just be friends
Why, why, (do we close our eyes)
Why, why, (do the greedy life)
Why, why, (do we fight for land)
Can someone tell us why cos' we don't understand
Why, why
