Why Do We Fight? (Song)

Why Do We Fight?

Intro
Yo, this one’s for the heart of the matter, The wars inside, the battles that shatter, We askin’ why, not just in sight, James 4:1, let’s shed the light.

Verse 1
Why do we clash when we supposed to love? Claimin’ we follow the Lord above, But the truth is, deep down, we torn apart, By pleasures that war in the human heart.

Jealousy creepin’, greed takin’ hold, Selfish ambition makin’ souls grow cold, It’s not about tradition, who’s wrong or right, It’s the pride inside us, sparkin’ the fight.

Pre-Chorus
It’s hard to quarrel with a generous soul, Kindness breaks chains, makes the broken whole, But when we let selfish desires reign, The body of Christ feels the weight of pain.

Chorus
Why do we fight? Why can’t we see? The battles outside start inside of me. Lord, give us wisdom, bring us Your peace, Teach us to love, let the quarrels cease.

Verse 2
Some things deserve to stand and fight, When leaders oppress or deny what’s right. But most of our wars ain’t about the just, They fueled by pride, envy, and mistrust.

Take a second, breathe, ask yourself why, Is it my will or God’s will I apply? Could it be my hurt that I amplify? Bring it to God, let the selfishness die.

Bridge
Am I left out, ignored, unseen? Is the fight about justice or just my dream? God knows my heart, He sees it clear, When I lean on Him, the truth appears.

Someday He’ll ask how we treated each other, Did we love like sisters? Did we fight like brothers? Will my answer reflect His grace and light? Or show the scars of the battles I ignite?

Chorus (x2)
Why do we fight? Why can’t we see? The battles outside start inside of me. Lord, give us wisdom, bring us Your peace, Teach us to love, let the quarrels cease.

Outro
It ain’t about winnin’, it’s about grace, Peace ain’t passive—it’s standin’ in place. So when the war starts, look in your soul, Let God’s wisdom take control.

Why do we fight? Let love abide, When we choose His way, peace will reside.
