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
