Song Description

What's all the fighting for

Lyrics

Children all over the world
have many questions for us
like what are we here for
and how deep is the sea
and what does it mean to be free

But there's one question out there
that baffles wisemen everywhere
and all children wonder
why they get no reply
but the question remains in their eyes

When they ask:
Why is there war
What's all the fighting for
Why are there missles; bombs and guns
Why is there war

Children keep asking us why
why do we all live and die
but the answer we give them
is to love one another
and if that is so tell me why

Soon there will come a day
when all bombs can be put away
and the questions of children
will still take us to task
but there's one less question they'll ask
