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 it¹s true  We¹re going after ³who²  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 I¹m blind to what I see  They tell me there¹s an enemy  I know I gotta get outta here  Insanity is drawing near  Can¹t take it anymore  I¹ve knocked on heaven¹s door  No I¹m 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  Can¹t we learn from what we¹ve 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 people¹d changed  The medals on his chest  Didn¹t 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 there¹s nothing good in war  I know Rcause I¹ve been there before  So what am I gonna do  I know this war ain¹t 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  Can¹t we learn form what we¹ve done before  What are we fighting for  When no one ever wins, in war
