What Are We Fighting For? Lyrics

People get ready
There's something in the air
Creeping in slow so we don't even notice
Brothers and sisters bewarePeople get ready
Open up your eyes
Hatred and violence, millions fall silent
We don't even hear their criesIts time to love one another, were sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
And weapons of warPeople get ready
What's your loaded gun?
Silent indifference
Hunger for vengeance
Or words from a wicked tonguePeople get ready

Only you can choose
What you will do
When it comes down to you
No one else can walk in your shoesIt's time to love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
And weapons of warOh my Lord
I have a dream
Oh my Lord
One day we'll see
Oh my Lord
All men be free
Oh my Lord
I still believePeople let's love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
It's time to love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
