Lyrics
What Are We Fighting For
Spent another day here
Then another night
Then another year 'til it occurred to me
The love I fought for
Would never be returned
Tried to fuel a fire that was
Never meant to burn
Then a new day
And a new life has found us, awakening
From the old world
Full of tired ways that left us both questioning
What are we fighting for?
No matter what they say here
No matter what the side
No matter what the fear they
Always seem to be
Finding ways to take more
And will they ever learn
Will we ever fight this fire
Or do we just let it burn?
All these hard ways
And your harsh words
Have spared me, thankfully
But the old days
That you want more
Don't show me and don't answer me
What are we fighting for?
Well I don't know Jesus
But I know his words
You say you love him
But you don't seem to listen
You're out on your own mission
And you'll fight 'til the end of the world
It's a new day
Let the new light just let you see differently
Let the old hate
and the old hurt just leave you instantly
What are we fighting for?
We'll never win the war
What are we fighting for?
