What Are We Fightin' For? Lyrics

People get ready
There's somethin' in the air
Creepin' in slow so we don't even notice
Brothers and sisters beware
People get ready
Open your eyes
Hatred and violence, millions fall silent
We don't even hear their cries

It's time to love one another
We're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breakin'
Lives bein' taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness
To rise up and end this
What are waitin' for?
Love teach us the way
To overcome hate and weapons of war

People get ready
What's your loaded gun?
Silent indifference, hunger for vengence
Or words from a wicked tongue?
People get ready
Only you can choose
What you will do when it comes down to you
No one else can walk in your shoes

It's time to love one another
We're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breakin'
Lives bein' taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness
To rise up and end this
What are waitin' for?
Love teach us the way
To overcome hate and weapons of war

Oh my lord (i have a dream)
Oh my lord (one we'll see)
Oh my lord (all men be free)
Oh my lord (i still believe)
Oh my lord (i have a dream)
Oh my lord (one we'll see)
Oh my lord (all men be free)
Oh my lord (i still believe)

People let's love one another
We're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breakin'
Lives bein' taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness
To rise up and end this
What are waitin' for?
Love teach us the way
To overcome hate and weapons of war
