Why? Songtext
von 1927

Once there was a man
Who had a dream of a new world
No more empty words
Just simple human feelings
He′d lie awake at night and dream
Of a new age fantasy
Something to believe in

Why? won't somebody tell me why
Doesn′t anybody take the time to try
To see the greatest dream will never die
In the eyes of every child

Once there was a man
Who dreamed of hope
In a fair world
Everyone had rights
Like each and every other
He'd lie away and dream of peace
In a good world, what could be
No more than we can wonder


Why? won't somebody tell me why
Doesn′t anybody take the time to try
To see the greatest dream will never die
In the eyes of every child

Once there was a man
Who had a dream
Of a new world
All the people free
And every life had meaning
Some may say the dreams
Are the gold in a rainbow
But if we never took the time to dream
We′d never find the answer

Why? won't somebody tell me why
Doesn′t anybody take the time to try
To see the greatest dream will never die
In the eyes of every child

Why? won't somebody tell me why
Doesn′t anybody take the time to try
To see the greatest dream will never die
In the eyes of every child


Once there was a man
Who had a dream of a new world
Thank God some people take the time to dream
