| I got the call one summer night
|
| He said youre on tomorrows flight
|
| My mother cried my sister too
|
| My father said Im proud of you
|
| I cant believe its true
|
| Were going after who
|
| And still I wish that I just knew
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| When the price we pay is endless war
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| When all we need is peace
|
| Though Im blind to what I see
|
| They tell me theres an enemy
|
| I know I gotta get outta here
|
| Insanity is drawing near
|
| Cant take it anymore
|
| Ive knocked on heavens door
|
| No Im not dying for this war
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| When the price we pay is endless war
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| When all we need is peace
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| Cant we learn from what weve done before
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| When no one ever wins, in war
|
| A young man returns from war
|
| Where he didnt know
|
| What he was fighting for
|
| The streets remained the same
|
| But peopled changed
|
| The medals on his chest
|
| Didnt mean a thing
|
| A tear dropped from the corner of his eye
|
| Did he come come
|
| My grandpa died in Normandy
|
| My brother is still in Vietnam
|
| I know theres nothing good in war
|
| I know Rcause Ive been there before
|
| So what am I gonna do I know this war aint through
|
| And still I wish that I just knew
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| When the price we pay is endless war
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| When all we need is peace
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| Cant we learn form what weve done before
|
| What are we fighting for
|
| When no one ever wins, in war |
