What Are We Fighting For

Somewhere in America You & I are part of War Although it's hard for us to see We are to be or not to be. What are we Fighting for? Somewhere in America If you simply just explore There is a boy who's blind, you see He's still much like you & me What are we Fighting For? Somewhere in America A mother cries some more She lost her son overseas He died protecting you & me What are we Fighting For? Somewhere in America Some things we must ignore Don't ever try to intervene Dont speak up, you'll cause a scene What are we Fighting For? Somewhere in America Someone's keeping score They're all around & in between & some may be part machine What are we Fighting For? Somewhere in America You & I are part of more We stick yogether like sardines & yet we play on different team's What is it that we're Fighting For?
