Lyrics:

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 cause 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
