I'll Fight
Wilco Lyrics

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
I'll do anything and everything for you

I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
I'll defend and protect you, even in dangerous situations

I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill for you
I'll take extreme measures to ensure your safety, even if it means causing harm to others

I will, I will, I will
I promise to do whatever it takes to keep you safe and happy

And if I die, I'll die, I'll die alone
I accept the possibility of dying in order to protect you, even if it means dying alone

On some forgotten hill, abandoned by the mill
My death may not be glorified or remembered, but I am willing to face that consequence

All my blood will spring and spill
I am willing to suffer greatly and make sacrifices for you

I'll crash the air and be still
I'll give it my all until my last breath and will go out fighting

You'll wait with the star from a dream
Even though I'll be gone, you'll hold onto memories and reminders of me

And know that I am gone
You'll truly understand and accept that I'm no longer here

You'll feel it in your heart
You'll feel my absence and miss me deeply

But not for very long
You'll heal and find ways to move on

You'll rise each day as planned
You'll continue with your life and routine

Your will is your command
You have the strength to carry on and persevere

And stand each Sunday
Religion and faith may be comforting to you during this time

A hymnal steady in your hand
You'll find comfort in singing and paying tribute to me

And you'll sing to yourself
You'll remember me in your own way

The rising falling melody
The songs and tunes that bring me to mind

That you could never read
Although you may not fully understand or comprehend the meaning behind the songs, you'll still sing them for me

Without the choirs' lead
You'll be alone without my presence or guidance through life

Still alone and lost in deep
You'll feel alone and lost at times, struggling without me by your side

And your soul will not be free
The pain of losing me will weigh heavy on your heart and soul

And in wars waters I will wade
I am willing to face any battle or challenge for you, even if it means going to war

And I will know if I remorse or regret
I'll have no regrets or doubts in my actions, even if they lead to my death

The fairness of our trade
Although the situation may not be ideal, I am willing to make the sacrifice for you

For you to live, I took your place
I'm willing to put your life and happiness above my own

A deal was made and I was paid
I'm aware of the consequences and have accepted them in exchange for ensuring your safety

And the goal as I was told
I've been given a purpose and aim in my actions

Was a place where my body could be laid
I'm aware of the possibility of dying and being buried, but I'm content with that outcome

And we will steal your life
I acknowledge that fate may be cruel and take you away from me

And I own in better homes surrounded
I can only hope that, wherever you may be, you are comfortable, safe, and happy

By your peers, without suffering or fear
I pray that you're surrounded by people who love you and that you're free from pain or fear

Grandchildren far and near
Although I may not be there to meet them, I hope you have a happy family that continues to grow

And none will shed a tear
I hope that you are happy and content, and that my absence doesn't cause you too much pain

For the love no longer here
I hope that, despite my absence, you continue to feel loved and cherished
