Aaaaah Eeeho I see all the troubled times I hear voices raised like a battle cry Hearts divided only fall I see the sign of the times I read the writing on the wall (Tell me why) Tell me the reasons why We can't live together (Tell me why) Look in the children's eyes Is there a chance for peace in their time Tell me the reasons why There is no surrender (Tell me why) When will the white flag fly Before the wall comes down on all sides Feel the struggle in our cries When our only hope is a chance for compromise Play with fate like a pawn Why are the ways of the world always tearing us apart (Tell me why) Tell me the reasons why We can't live together (Tell me why) Look in the children's eyes Is there a chance for peace in their time Tell me the reasons why There is no surrender (Tell me why) When will the white flag fly Before the wall goes down on all (Tell me why) Tell me the reasons why We can't live together (Tell me why) Look in the children's eyes Is there a chance for peace in their time Tell me the reasons why There is no surrender (Tell me why) When will the white flag fly Before the wall comes down on all,down on all, down on all (Before the wall goes) Down on all Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why
