和朋友動心起念想開讀書會,書單裡龍應台的〝目送〞,試讀時欲罷不能,思緒盪盪回照自身,半百光陰消滅在陽台外瀲豔晴空裡,看去也只有輕輕柔柔浮雲幾朵。
晚上電子郵件傳出童音美聲的曲調,歌詞不正是今日讀書心得。
Tell me why
In my dream children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue
The fields is green
And laughter is the language of the world
Then I wake and all I see
Is a world full of people in need
*Tell me why, Does it have to be like this
Tell me why, Is there something I have missed
Tell me why, I don’t understand
When somebody needs somebody
We don’t give a helping hand
Tell me why
Everyday
I ask myself
What I have to do to be a man
Do I have
To stand and fight
To prove to everybody who I am
Is that what my life is for
To waste in a world full of war
*Tell me why, Does it have to be like this
Tell me why, Is there something I have missed
Tell me why, I don’t understand
just tell me why
Why, why do the tigers run
Why, why do we shoot the gun
Why, why do we never learn
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn
Why, why do we say we care
Why, shy do we stand and stare
Why, why do the dolphins cry
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die
Why, why if we’re all the same
Why, why do we pass the blame
Why, why does it never end
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends
Why Why
