My dearest Mama they just gave us time to write
|
I miss you and there's something on my mind tonight
|
At mailcall I recieved your letter here today
|
But I don't understand the things you say
|
You tell me there are people marching in our streets
|
The signs they carry say that we don't fight for peace
|
There's not a soldier in this foreign land who likes this war
|
Oh Mama tell them what we're fighting for
|
Tell them that we're fighting for the old Red White and Blue
|
Did they forget Pearl Harbor and Korea too
|
Another flag must never fly above our nation's door
|
Oh Mama tell them what we're fighting for
|
|
From Maine to California there are many noble men
|
Who know the price of war and pray we'd never fight again
|
But the world must learn that we will fight we will protect our shore
|
Oh mama tell them what we're fighting for
|
Oh Mama tell them what we're fighting for oh Mama tell them what we're fighting for
|

What We're Fighting For
