What I'm Fighting For
Matisyahu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What I'm fighting for
Is worth far more than silver and gold
What I'm fighting for
Is a chance to unite the past
With the brothers coming home at last
Fighting together for light

Sons and daughters of Abraham
Lay down to a higher command
Don't be tricked by the acts of man
God's wisdom revealed in a holy plan

A chance to unite the past
With the brothers coming home at last
Fighting together for light

To Zion we roam
And we're not all alone
Unite and purify

What I'm fighting for
Is worth far more than silver and gold
What I'm fighting for
Is a chance to unite the past
With the brothers coming home at last
Fighting together for light

To Zion we roam
And we're not all alone




Unite and purify
What I'm fighting for
