I got the call one summer night
He said you're on tomorrow's flight
My mother cried, my sister too
My father said I'm proud of you, yes I am sonI can't believe it's true, we're going after who
And still I wish that I just knewWhat are we fighting for?
When the price we pay is endless war
What are we fighting for?
All we know we need is peaceThough I'm blind to what I see
They tell me there's an enemy
I know I gotta get outta here
Insanity is drawing near, I'm going crazyCan't take it anymore, I've knocked on heaven's door
No I'm not dying for this warWhat are we fighting for?
When the price we pay is endless war
What are we fighting for?
All we know we need is peaceWhat are we fighting for?
Can't we learn from what we've done before
What are we fighting for?
Yeah, when no one ever wins, in warA young man returns from war
Where he didn't know, what he was fighting for
The streets remained the same but people changed
The medals on his chest, didn't mean a thing
A tear dropped from the corner of his eye, did he come home?Now, listen up, my grandpa died on Normandy
My brother is still in Vietnam, he ain't comin' home
I know there's nothing good in war
I know 'cause I've been there before, oh yes, I haveSo what am I gonna do, I know this war ain't through
And still I wish that I just knewWhat are we fighting for?
When the price we pay is endless war
What are we fighting for?
All we know we need is peaceWhat are we fighting for?
Can't we learn form what we've done before
What are we fighting for?
When no one ever winsWhat are we fighting for?
When the price we pay is endless war
What are we fighting for?
When all we need is peaceWhat are we fighting for?
Can't we learn form what we've done before
What are we fighting for?
When no one ever wins, in war, in war, in war, in war
