Here's some info from http://my.opera.com/ivyquan/blog/show.dml/604584

When an 12-year old receives a major record contract everyone sits up and takes notice. That is the phenomenal success story of Liberty recording artist Declan Galbraith

Declan Galbraith, a 12-year old English boy, likes an angel. His attractive tenor voice seems comes from the heaven, high and clear. In his songs he hopes that this world will become a nicer place, he also indicates that love is both giving and getting, an unbroken heart can’t be cured by love.
He lived with Ben, his grandfather, since he was six months old, so everyone believes that his genius for music comes from Ben. Ben always carried with him Declan Galbraith to the bars to performance six-hole-flute and Ireland drum, it was since then Declan Galbraith’s enthusiasm and understanding on traditional Ireland music has been cultivated. Ben died in 1996. Galbraith’s first album was for commemorating his grandfather, because he loved him so much.

Declan Galbraith is a very simple but filial boy. He wishes to gain enough money so that his parents needn’t work any more, he also wants to buy a new car for his father.

Tell Me Why

In my dream,children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue and fields are green:
And laughter is the language of the world
Then i wake and all i see
Is a world full of people in need
Chorus:
Tell me why(why) does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why) is there something i have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos i don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand Tell me why?
Everyday i ask myself
What will 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?
chorus:
(children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why?
(children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why
(together) just tell me why, why, why?
chorus:
chorus chant:
Tell me why (why,why,does the tiger run)
Tell me why(why why do we shoot the gun)
Tell me why (why,why do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?
(why,why do we say we care)
Tell me why(why,why)
