Warsong Lyrics - Singles - White Lion

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
