What Are We Fighting For?

People get ready
There's something in the air
Creeping in slow so we don't even notice
Brothers and sisters beware
People get ready
Open up 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 breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting 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 vengeance
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 breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way
To overcome hate
And weapons of war
Oh my Lord
(I have a dream)
Oh my Lord
(One day 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 breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way
To overcome hate
Love teach us the way
To overcome hate
And weapons of war
