White Lion - Warsong lyrics

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
