Walk me to god’s house
And knock on the door
Make me a path through the guns on the floor
Cause I came to ask him what all this for
Cause god only knows what we’re fighting for
Find me the promise
Where everyone’s saved
And keep all the hatred
from staining the page
I’ll teach my children the right things to say
To go where they’re wanted when life isn’t safe
Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
God only knows what we’re fighting for
God only knows what we’re fighting for
Build me a shelter and call it my home
Once all the holiest places have gone
I’ll keep on hoping that someday we’ll find
A world where a people won’t have to hide
Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
God only knows what we’re fighting for
God only knows what we’re fighting for X2
And if this is peace
Then you can keep it
I’ve seen it all
And I believe it
Before all my brothers and sisters have died We’ve gotta make it right
