All day long he was fighting for you
|
And he didn't even know your name
|
Young men come and young men go
|
But life goes on just the same
|
|
And I don't know why
|
Why do we keep holding on
|
I don't know why
|
Pretending to be oh so strong
|
Oh why
|
Is there something I don't know
|
Or something very wrong, with you and me
|
or maybe
|
|
That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,
|
That's just the way it is.
|
|
They've been waiting for word to come down
|
They've been waiting for you night and day
|
They won't wait any longer for you
|
It may already be too late
|
|
And I don't know why...
|
|
You see the dying, you feel the pain
|
What have you got to say
|
If we agree that we can disagree
|
We could stop all of this today
|
|
It's been your life for as long as you can remember
|
But you cannot fight no more
|
You must want to look your son in the eyes
|
When he asks you what you did it for
|
|
'Cos all day long he was fighting for you
|
And he didn't even know your name
|
Young men come and young men go
|
But life goes on just the same
|
|
I don't know why...
|
