Wells, Tyrone - What Are We Fighting For? Lyrics
People get ready
There's something in the air
Creeping in slow so we don't even notice
Brothers and sisters beware
Open up your eyes
Hatred and violence, millions fall silent
We don't even hear their cries
It's time to love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
And weapons of war
People get ready
What's your loaded gun?
Silent indifference
Hunger for vengeance
Or words from a wicked tongue
People get ready
Only you can choose
What you will do
When it comes down to you
No one else can walk in your shoes
It's time to love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
And weapons of war
Oh my Lord
I have a dream
Oh my Lord
One day we'll see
Oh my Lord
All men be free
Oh my Lord
I still believe
People let's love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this
What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
And weapons of war

Wells, Tyrone What Are We Fighting For? Comments
This controversial song and video by singer/songwriter Tyrone Wells and filmmaker/music video director Chip Miller was the first video to blaze the humanitarian crisis in Uganda; conveying the story of Joseph Kony and his child soldiers.
Cheers for sharing, Lenore. Chip
Been jamming to this song for quite some time. It always makes for a good day when it pops back in my head.
You are the audience our 2014 documentary is going to be talking to. We could almost use your statement as the sub-text under the titles. Right on, brother. Or in my case, being the screenwriter of this doc, Write on.
Well stated, amitus8. Peace.
This is a better, cleaner version struck directly from the director's master copy.
