(H James – J Albert & Son / K Richey – Chrysalis Music Limited)
We have been fighting a war, for reasons I can’t recall
It seemed at the time to be worthy a cause
But here in the dawn I’m not nearly so sure
What are we fighting for? What are we fighting for
The price that we’re paying is dear to the heart
We could find our way back if we knew where to start
What are we fighting for? There are no winners in war
We have been under attack, we’ve been to hell and back
Fought the good fight now we’re showing the signs
Of living too long behind enemy lines
What are we fighting for? What are we fighting for
The price that we’re paying is dear to the heart
We could find our way back if we knew where to start
What are we fighting for? There are no winners in war
I want to lay down my arms and sail for home shores
What are we fighting for? What are we fighting for
Oh the price that we’re paying is dear to the heart
We could find our way back if we knew where to start
What are we fighting for? There are no winners in war
