Once upon a midnight dream
There were tiny little soldiers marching in
Breaking through the fortress I hide behind
Constructing all the chaos that disturbs me in my mind
It's all over the headlines

If we'd cry just a little
Maybe laugh a little more
If it's not worth having
Then it's not worth dying for
We've got to live just a little
Maybe love a little more
'Cause it can't be all for nothing
So what are we fighting for

I'm not afraid to show my fear
'Cause it's the only way to face what's growing here
I wonder if I'll live to see the day
When practical solutions for a modern world
Return to a state of grace

If we'd cry just a little
Maybe laugh a little more
If it's not worth having
Then it's not worth dying for
We've got to live just a little
Maybe love a little more
'Cause it can't be all for nothing
So what are we fighting for

La da da da

It seems I have worn out my thinking cap
I've come to this conclusion cause all I do is laugh
What choice do I have?

If we'd cry just a little
Maybe laugh a little more
If it's not worth having
Then it's not worth dying for
We've got to live just a little
Maybe love a little more
'Cause it can't be all for nothing
So what are we fighting for
