Fighting Song Lyrics
(c) 2009 SG Lewis
This is what I know, oh yeah
Said this is what I know
See, I got problems, just like you
And I hold hatred in my heart for the evil deeds men do
But I’m not gonna be free, to learn, to build, to lead
So I gotta give it up to the Most High, He set me free
He said love, and peace shall be granted to thee
And patience that passes all understanding
Oh brothers we must search for these things
What we’re fighting for
It’s harder to love but you reap what you sow
Lets put some effort forth, ‘cause hatred stifles happiness and this is what I know
What we’re fighting for
It’s harder to love but you reap what you sow
Let’s put some effort forth ‘cause hatred stifles happiness and this is what I know
Yeah this is what I know, this is what I know
I turn on the news, the darkness builds
Overcome with anger at the greed of this world, my soul feels ill
But anger won’t win this fight
Two wrongs won’t make things right
I’m gonna seek a change like a blind man prays for sight
Love, and peace shall be granted to thee
And patience that passes all understanding
Oh brothers, we must search for these things
Oh sisters, we must thirst for these things
I know, I know it’s a hard road to follow
I know it takes time to build
I know, I know sometimes it’s a hard pill to swallow
And I know it takes time to build, it takes time to build
What we’re fighting for,
It’s harder to love, but you reap what you sow
Lets put some effort forth ‘cause hatred stifles happiness and this is what I know
Said what we’re fighting for, its harder to love, harder to love
Lets put some effort forth ‘cause hatred stifles happiness and this is what I know
Said what we’re fighting for, its harder to love, harder to love
Let’s put some effort forth ‘cause hatred stifles happiness and this is what I know (repeat)
