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
