Fighting Is Not An Answer

If fighting is never the answer,
Why is it that we are always fighting?
We’re fighting for our rights,
We’re fighting for love,
We’re fighting for peace,
We’re fighting for our lives.

If fighting is never the answer,
Then how else do we deal?
We are scared,
We are worried,
We have weaknesses,
We have fears.

If fighting is never the answer,
How will we survive?
We don’t want to be knocked down,
We don’t want to be pushed over,
We want to stand strong
We want to prove ourselves.

Perhaps fighting is not an answer,
But it’s a question,
To see if we win or we lose,
Perhaps it’s not the way to deal,
But it’s the only way we know,
And how do we survive?

We survive when we don’t give up.
