What We Were Fighting For
I can't remember how it started
So much time has come and gone
All I know is that this painful memory lingers on
Was it some important matter
Or was it just our pride at stake
Did I ever stop to think about the price I'd pay
Oh-oh...
Was it that you wore your hair long
And played rock and roll in that band
Or was it just your independence that I could not stand
It's taken years to find the courage
And now I'm standing here today
And I hoped that you might listen to me when I say
I can't even remember what we were fighting for
As time goes by, the reasons why aren't clear anymore
We held our ground and we both found
That no one won the war
It never mattered what we were fighting for
So I've come to say I love you
I should've said it long ago
I'd like to think that you can hear me, but I just don't know
As I'm standing by your headstone
There's one thing I'd like to add
Can you find it in your heart, son, to forgive your dad
I can't even remember what we were fighting for
As time goes by, the reasons why aren't clear anymore
We held our ground until we found
That no one won the war
It never mattered, oh, what we were fighting for
(What are we fighting for)
Oh, I don't remember what we were fighting for
What we were fighting for
What were we fighting for
I don't remember what we were fighting for
Why do we fight
What were we fighting for
So much time has come and gone
All I know is that this painful memory lingers on
Was it some important matter
Or was it just our pride at stake
Did I ever stop to think about the price I'd pay
Oh-oh...
Was it that you wore your hair long
And played rock and roll in that band
Or was it just your independence that I could not stand
It's taken years to find the courage
And now I'm standing here today
And I hoped that you might listen to me when I say
I can't even remember what we were fighting for
As time goes by, the reasons why aren't clear anymore
We held our ground and we both found
That no one won the war
It never mattered what we were fighting for
So I've come to say I love you
I should've said it long ago
I'd like to think that you can hear me, but I just don't know
As I'm standing by your headstone
There's one thing I'd like to add
Can you find it in your heart, son, to forgive your dad
I can't even remember what we were fighting for
As time goes by, the reasons why aren't clear anymore
We held our ground until we found
That no one won the war
It never mattered, oh, what we were fighting for
(What are we fighting for)
Oh, I don't remember what we were fighting for
What we were fighting for
What were we fighting for
I don't remember what we were fighting for
Why do we fight
What were we fighting for
