To Declan Galbraith, Tell Me Why

In my youth, I am used to singing this song

A bouquet of sunshine for every elf and angel

Everyone is nice, no one is evil

And heart is the most precious ruby of the world

Then I wake and all I see is God’s garden gone

Tell me why, why story is so different from reality

Tell me why, why you have to break my fancy

Tell me why, cause I don’t understand

White is so beautiful

But tainted black by a wrong hand

Tell me why

For so many times, I’ve asked myself

What can we do to make each other happy

Do we have, to take and conquer

To prove to ourselves who we are in this land

Is that how we prove life meaningful?

To indulge in the endless abyss of desire

Tell me why, why story is so different from reality

Tell me why, why you have to break my fancy

Tell me why, cause I don’t understand

White is so beautiful

But tainted black by a wrong hand

Tell me why

Tell me why

Tell me why

Just tell me why

Tell me why, why story is so different from reality

Tell me why, why you have to break my fancy

Tell me why, cause I don’t understand

White is so beautiful

But tainted black by a wrong hand

Tell me why (why does the earth cry?)

Tell me why (why do we have to lie?)

Tell me why (why innocence never last long?)

Can someone tell me why right can be wrong

(why why do we steal?) tell me why

(why why do we kill?) tell me why

(why why do the stars sigh?) tell me why

Can someone tell me why we let love die

(why why if we are all slave?) tell me why

(why why are you so tame?) tell me why

(why why is pain always there?)

Can someone tell me why we cannot build heaven’s garden here?

(why why are our hearts so cold?)

(why why can’t we just be bold?)

(why why can’t we stand hand in hand?)

Can someone tell me why, cause I don’t understand
