I got the call one summer night
He said you¹re on tomorrow¹s flight
My mother cried my sister too
My father said I¹m proud of you
I can¹t believe it's true
We¹re 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 I'm blind to what I see
They tell me there¹s an enemy
I know I gotta get outta here
Insanity is drawing near
(I'm going crazy)
Can¹t take it anymore
I've knocked on heaven's door
No I'm 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
Can't we learn from what we've done before
What are we fighting for
When no one ever wins, in war

A young man returns from war
Where he didn¹t know
What he was fighting for
The streets remained the same
But people change
All the medals on his chest
They didn't mean a thing
A tear dropped from the corner of his eye
Did he come home

My grandpa died in Normandy
My brother is still in Vietnam
I know there's nothing good in war
I know because I've been there before
So what am I gonna do
I know this war ain't 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
Can't we learn form what we¹ve done before
What are we fighting for
When no one ever wins, in war
