What Are We Fighting For
I dream about a blessed day,
when we’re unified, standing
hand in hand.
Let’s just put aside our hate,
for heaven’s sake.
Chorus
What are we fighting for?
Let’s end hate’s violent war.
Embrace love, so hate can
be no more.
What are we fighting for?
There’s a pandemic plaguing
the land.
Because of it, fear has visited
every man.
It’s an invisible enemy that we
haven’t a clue how to fight.
Chorus
What are we fighting for?
Let’s end hate’s violent war.
Embrace love, so hate can
be no more.
Our children are the future,
if we go on like this,
What kind of future will that
be?
Chorus
What are we fighting for?
Let’s end hate’s violent war.
Embrace love, so hate can
be no more.
Let’s throw down the weapons
of intolerance and destruction.
And pick up peace, hope, love
and joy to have in our arsenal.
Chorus
What are we fighting for?
Let’s end hate’s violent war.
Embrace love, so hate can
be no more.
Bridge
I choose love, let it consume me.
Only walking in love can eradicate
the poisonous venom of hate.
What are we fighting for?
I hope for a better tomorrow,
I’m tired of all the sorrow.
Let cross the bridge of hate
and walk into love’s wing.
……………..
So we can know what we’re
fighting to for
Oh…. What you’re fighting for?
