Genesis - Tell Me Why Lyrics
Mothers crying in the street
Children dying at their feet, tell me why, ooh tell me why
People starving everywhere
There's too much food but there's none to spare,
Tell me why, oh tell me why
Can you see that shaft of sunlight
can you see it in my eyes
I can feel the fire that's burning
anger and hope so deep
so deep within my heart but before my eyes
for some it's too late
cos it seems there's no-one listening
People sleeping in the streets
no roof above, no food to eat, tell me why, oh tell me why
listen to their children's cries,
Tell me why, please tell me why
If there's a God, is he watching
can he give a ray of hope
so much pain and so much sorrow
tell me what does he see
when he looks at you
when he looks at me
what would he say
cos it seems there's no-one listening
Who would think it still could happen
even in this time and place
politicians, they may save themselves
ah but they won't save their face
so hope against hope it's not too late
You say there's nothing you can do
is there one rule for them and one for you,
tell me why, just tell my why
Listen can you see that shaft of sunlight
can you see it in my eyes
I can feel the fire that's burning
anger and hope so deep
so deep within my heart but before my eyes
for some it's too late
and it seems there's no-one listening
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry, they cry...

Deep lyrics
shocking to see, I knew he was ill. respect. a true legend. nice to see you again. I have all your music. doctors have not been able to repair him now we are crying, famine made me feel bad, so 6 months I handed over the rest of my salary, after I paid my fixed expenses, donated the rest to the Danish Red Cross, so I knew that my money went to the needy. When I suddenly couldn't bear myself, I had to stop. 20 kg lighter, it took me almost two years to get up to normal weight
tell me why Venezuela?
Que som massa muito bom.
Eu brasileira adoooro😘😘😍😍
No kid,man or woman were harmed during the make of this video
If there's a god is he watching?
This could be also a song from Phil's DITL or BS era. Has that vibe.
Sarejvo ?? HELEN B R I P, me and u loved this Alcohol , evil

2019!! Still the same.....
It's a shame. WHY,WHY,WHY..👣
looking at the world today in January 2019 and little has changed since this song was released, its probably worse and people seem to care even less now. More interested in themselves

"Tell Me Why"
Mothers crying in the street
Children dying at their feet, tell me why, ooh tell me why
People starving everywhere
There's too much food but there's none to spare,
Tell me why, oh tell me why
Can you see that shaft of sunlight
can you see it in my eyes
I can feel the fire that's burning
anger and hope so deep
so deep within my heart but before my eyes
for some it's too late
cos it seems there's no-one listening
People sleeping in the streets
no roof above, no food to eat, tell me why, oh tell me why
see the questions in their eyes
listen to their children's cries,
Tell me why, please tell me why
If there's a God, is he watching
can he give a ray of hope
so much pain and so much sorrow
tell me what does he see
when he looks at you
when he looks at me
what would he say
cos it seems there's no-one listening
Who would think it still could happen
even in this time and place
politicians, they may save themselves
ah but they won't save their face
so hope against hope it's not too late
You say there's nothing you can do
is there one rule for them and one for you,
tell me why, just tell my why
Listen can you see that shaft of sunlight
can you see it in my eyes
I can feel the fire that's burning
anger and hope so deep
so deep within my heart but before my eyes
for some it's too late
and it seems there's no-one listening
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry, they cry...
Holly macarony

ONE OF MY FAVOURITES WITH GENESIS♥ANYONE WITH ME 2018?? ♥♥
Superb artist !
Very hard-hitting video I think
Jamila, I am too! Phil was the soundtrack to my youth
Me 2 ✌🏻
The soundtrack to my youth 1986-1993.
su grito está hablando SIEMPRE
un gran grupooo...parte de mi vidaaa
Madres lloran en la calle, niños mueren a sus pies
Dime por qué, dime por qué
Gente muere de hambre, en todas partes hay mucha comida,
pero ninguna disponible
Dime por qué, dime por qué
CORO:
Puedes ver ese rayo de sol ¿puedes verlo en mis ojos?
Puedo sentir el fuego que está ardiendo furioso y espera dentro
Tan dentro de mi corazón pero frente a tus ojos
Pera algo ya es muy tarde, pues parece que nadie escucha
Gente duerme en la calle sin techo, sin alimento que comer
Dime por qué, dime por qué
Mira las preguntas en sus ojos, escucha el llanto de los niños
Dime por qué, por favor dime por qué
Si hay un Dios que esté mirando, puede enviar un rayo de esperanza
Mucha pena y dolor, dime por que está viendo
Cuando te miro, cuando me mira
¿Que diría? pues parece que nadie escucha
Quien creería que podría seguir ocurriendo incluso en este tiempo y lugar
Políticos, ellos deben salvarnos
Pero ellos no salvarán sus rostros así que esperanza, enfrenta a la esperanza,
no es tan tarde
Dices que no hay nada que no hay nada que puedas hacer,
hay una regla para ellos y una para nosotros
Dime por qué, solo dime por qué
CORO
Apresúrate por mi, apúrate por mi
Apresúrate por mi, apúrate por mi, que lloran, ellos lloran...
Oh, Phil, you're a treasure.
Спасибо ФИЛЯ!!!❤
My mate HELEN B R I P 4 u lady
This sounds more like a b-side to Another Day In Paradise
Mon plus beau souvenir est en 1985 quand je suis allé voir Phil Collins, mon premier concert à l'heure d'aujourd'hui je m'en souviens encore quand j'écoute ces chansons et en 1998 quand je lui et fait à manger à Bruxelles et qu'il m'a félicité et ma donné un orthographe !....inoubliable
Like si lo ves en 2017 buen año saludos desde Fresnillo Zacatecas México al mundo yeaaahhh🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽.
Mothers crying in the street, children dying at their feet

So deep within my heart but before my eyes

So much pain and so much sorrow, tell me what does he see

|Hurry for me, hurry for me |
... they crying :(
Tellmewhy
Unsere Welt.Wir leben im Paradies. Das müssen wir uns vor Augen führen.Jeden Tag. Die Meisten wissen es nicht.Viele sind leer vom ganzen Wohlstand und satt sowieso.
Wow what a fab track! I've never heard it before, it came on a playlist chosen by youtube and I'm bloomin glad it has!
Phil has short hair here, but he had long hair for Hold on My Heart!
I know this album (We Can't Dance) didn't get very good reviews, but I really think it is excellent. I do agree that some of the songs do simplify the World's problems, but I can't help but love the songs. Even if they do simplify the problems they still have far more meaning than anything released today. Fading Lights and Driving the Last Spike are the real stand-out songs for me. A fantastic end to a band with such a long history.
The drumming throughout this album is something else. I love all the tracks on it.
ThomasTankCollectables same man!
fuck every one who dislike this song.....🔇🔇🔇🔇
Only one word....BEAUTIFUL....i adore you PHIL...you are the best BALADS singer all times for me...THANK YOU PHIL FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!
Songwriter(s): Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford
Think first time ever heard this when been a Genesis fan since was a kid, good song with a important message
There are people starving in all countries, people should learn to take care of their own before begging on behalf of others, africas problems are due to corrupt government it is the richest country as far as minerals go on the planet yet they still need assistance from the west, we're still hearing about water problems even though the so called charitys have had billions of the publics hard earned money to fix it, maybe taking a step back and letting them sort it out for themselves is what's needed they are a very capable people i dont know why people insist on babying them?
Kris Roberts because we must always help the innocent.but at the same time drive out the corruption.
musica por excelencia
Genesis the best
Dime porque?. tanta injusticia....
l uomo si e spinto oltre ogni limite di crudelta e continua a farlo
Génesis que grande .como me me ubiese, gustado vivir esa época .que grande Génesis

Neil Cartwright genesis.
Gran tema.
Siempre Génesis tiene canciones que deja para la reflexión.
This great track is from the greatly underated album.we can't dance
I wouldn't call it an underrated album.
