Warsong Lyrics

I got the call one summer night He said you're on tomorrow's flight My mother cried, my sister too My father said I'm proud of you, yes I am son
I can't believe it's true, we're 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? All we know we need is peace
Though I'm blind to what I see They tell me there's an enemy I know I gotta get outta here Insanity is drawing near, I'm going crazy
Can't 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? All we know we need is peace
What are we fighting for? Can't we learn from what we've done before What are we fighting for? Yeah, when no one ever wins, in war
A young man returns from war Where he didn't know, what he was fighting for The streets remained the same but people changed The medals on his chest, didn't mean a thing A tear dropped from the corner of his eye, did he come home?
Now, listen up, my grandpa died on Normandy My brother is still in Vietnam, he ain't comin' home I know there's nothing good in war I know 'cause I've been there before, oh yes, I have
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? All we know we need is peace
What are we fighting for? Can't we learn form what we've done before What are we fighting for? When no one ever wins
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 we've done before What are we fighting for? When no one ever wins, in war, in war, in war, in war
