Dad was only 40 years old, we were counting on 40 more
But those plans changed in an instant when the doc walked through the door
Said “we’re gonna have to run more tests, we won’t know
for 2 more weeks
Dad held up his head, told us to stay strong, and said this one thing to
me
I don’t know what I’m fighting
But I know what I’m fighting for
I’m fighting for you
I’m fighting for me
I’m fighting for this here family
I’m fighting for strength
I’m fighting for love
I’m fighting this war, ‘cause I believe
I’m fighting for those who’ve gone
And for those who’ll come
Cause my time on earth it aint yet done
I’m fighting to keep living some more
I don’t know what I’m fighting
But I know what I’m fighting for
My best friend was only 18, he gave his girl a kiss goodbye
Waitin for the Greyhound in his army green, said” I promise I’ll
be alright”
He said “I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t
know the enemy
But like the soldiers who have come before, I’m serving for what
I believe”
I don’t know what I’m fighting
But I know what I’m fighting for
Repeat Chorus
BRIDGE:
Sometime’s life’s
A trial by fire
It’s hard to keep the faith
But the strength I get from
The one’s I love
Is why I’m here today
Repeat Chorus
