Mothers crying Saying goodbye and Is it all for nothing Children frightened Why are we fighting When it’s all for nothing? Soldiers dying While our leaders deny that It’s all for nothing Gunshots blinding Why are we fighting When it’s all for nothing When all we need is love So tell me Won’t you tell me why we’re fighting for Is it all for nothing So tell me Won’t you tell me what’s worth dying for Or is it all for nothing It doesn't make sense to send people to war in the name of peace I'll die for all I believe and live to see it succeed the price in the fight for freedom should not be human life our brothers and sisters across the seas don't deserve to bleed see, we're all related in some kind of way we can't rely on the sun to provide us with a brighter day I don't have the solution but I know that we must find a way the violence is senseless, too many die in a day we must teach love till it's the base of our existence like a tuba and dream in the spirit of Martin Luther it's time to pause, stop the fighters from fighting wars the pain of our mothers and fathers cannot be ignored we're signing petitions not understanding the cause once you put your pen down give actions to your thoughts let our fighters be writers, let their stories be shown so we bring both our troops and the truth home and they will tell you…we need more love So tell me Won’t you tell me why we’re fighting for Is it all for nothing So tell me Won’t you tell me what’s worth dying for Or is it all for nothing

I wana see you, tonight I wana be right, by your side I wana see you smile, I I wana get lost, in your eyes And maybe we can talk, a while Maybe you can say whats on your mind And maybe you can stay, a little longer And I want you To tell me that you want me to Tell me that you want me too Cuz I’ve waited so long I I’ve waited for the longest time Waited so long and now It feels so right, so right So maybe you might just might Tell me that you realize That maybe we’ve been waiting For the same thing for the same thing For the same thing for the same thing For the same thing for the same thing Cuz I’ve waited so long I I’ve waited for the longest time Waited so long and now It feels so right, so right So maybe you might just might Tell me that you realize That maybe we’ve been waiting For the same thing for the same thing For the same thing for the same thing For the same thing for the same thing

Heaven, you’ve opened up your doors To the loveliest angel you’ve ever seen before She’s with you now And father, you haven’t let her go She’s gone to a place where she can look down below And watch over you Brother, can you remember how We’d walk next to her with our eyes on the ground Hunting for gold Well now, we know she’s up above Eyes looking down, heart still full of love I can feel her in my soul Her wisdom in the morning breeze Her strength within our bones Her light above the tallest trees Her soul within our soul Her wisdom in the morning breeze Her strength within our bones Her light above the tallest trees Her soul within our soul Her soul within our soul Mother, do you remember well The wisest of words she’d always tell There’s nothing she didn’t know And father, I know you miss her so But she’s with us all, she hasn’t let you go I can feel her in my soul Her wisdom in the morning breeze Her strength within our bones Her light above the tallest trees Her soul within our soul Her wisdom in the morning breeze Her strength within our bones Her light above the tallest trees Her soul within our soul Her soul within our soul Her vision in our eyes Her kindness in our hearts Her words within our minds Her soul within our soul
