Tell Me Why (Dakeyne And Steve Anderson 12" Remix)

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh

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 (Listen to my story)

If you have the time (Ooh-ooh)

Yes, we'll make the difference if we really try

Listen, everybody (Listen, everybody)

Let's start to make it right (Ooh-ooh)

One and all together, we feel it from inside (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

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 (Tell me, anybody)

Why can't we live together? (Ooh-ooh)

End all the fighting, erase it all forever

Listen for this reason (Listen for this reason)

Before it gets too late (Ooh-ooh)

Soon, there will be no one, no one left to hate (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

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 (Tell me, anybody)

Why can't we live together? (Ooh-ooh)

End all the fighting, erase it all forever (Ever)

Listen for this reason (Listen for this reason)

Before it gets too late (Ooh-ooh)

Soon there will be no one, no one left to hate (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

So tell me

Tell me why it echoes every night (It echoes every night)

Why we fight just to find who's wrong or right (So tell me why we fight)

Don't let it slide, you can't run and hide (Can't run and hide)

Tell me why, oh, won't you please tell me why?

Tell me why it echoes every night (Why it echoes every night)

Why we fight just to find who's wrong or right (No, no)

Don't let it slide (Don't let it slide), you can't run and hide (Don't let it slide)

Tell me why, oh, won't you please tell me why?

Gangs 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 livin' 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)
