What We're Fighting For

My dearest mama
They just gave us time to ride
I miss you and there is something on my mind tonight
At mail call i received your letters here today
But i dont 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 souldier 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 that we'd never fight again

But the world must learn that we will fight
We will protect our shores
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
