 What Are We Fighting For?
Verse
I am dreaming of a day
When all wars they have ceased
When the killings have all stopped
And our children live in peace
When all people of the world
Have the food they need to eat
We all love one another
And we live in harmony

Chorus
Can't we stop the killings?
Can't we stop the wars?
Can't we begin healing?
What are we fighting for?
Can't we stop the bloodshed?
We need to feed the poor
Too many left for dead
What are we fighting for?

Verse
I am dreaming of a time
When the world believes in love
With people helping people
Where everyone can trust
I know that I am dreaming
But I know this can come true
It's not just wishful thinking
And I hope you believe it too

Chorus
Can't we stop the killings?
Can't we stop the wars?
Can't we begin healing?
What are we fighting for?
Can't we stop the bloodshed?
We need to feed the poor
Too many left for dead
What are we fighting for?

Bridge
Imagine if you can
Man helping man
How good life can be
I think that you'll agree

Chorus
Can't we stop the killings?
Can't we stop the wars?
Can't we begin healing?
What are we fighting for?
Can't we stop the bloodshed?
We need to feed the poor
Too many left for dead
What are we fighting for?
(It's peace we should restore)
