This Is Worth Fighting For lyrics

This is the land where I was born

Not so long ago

This is the land that struggled now

With worry and with woe

There was a question pounding my brain

What to do? What to do?

One night in a dream

The answer came into view

I saw a peaceful old valley

With a carpet of corn on the floor

And I heard a voice within me whisper

This is worth fighting for

I saw a little old cottage

And the river that flowed by the door

And I heard a voice within me whisper

This is worth fighting for

Didn't I build that cottage?

Didn't I plant that corn?

Didn't my folks before me

Fight for this country, before I was born?

I gathered my loved ones around me

And I gazed at each face I adore

Then I heard that voice within me thunder

This is worth fighting for

[bridge]

Didn't I build that cottage?

Didn't I plant that corn?

Didn't my folks before me

Fight for this country, before I was born?

I gathered my loved ones around me

And I gazed at each face I adore

Then I heard that voice within me thunder

This is worth fighting for
