"Worth Fighting For" lyrics - NEWSBOYS
[Intro:]
Hey
Hey
[Verse 1: Peter Furler]
You feel the weight, the great divide
The fighting words the faithless pride
But is there somethin' that's worth fighting for?
[Verse 2: Michael Tait]
You hide your doubts, you hold your tongue
You hope the world won't come undone
In the rerun of what's worth fighting for
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Furler]
I just don't know
But this I know
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Peter Furler]
Love your neighbor as yourself
Treat each other kind
Read the words that Jesus said
And then let 'em free your mind
Forgive the ones who've hurt you most
Don't tarry in the past
Buy the Truth, never let it go
It's the only thing that lasts
[Verse 3: Michael Tait]
Self-assured we pick our fights
Drawing red lines demanding rights
To find out some fights aren't worth fighting for
[Verse 4: Peter Furler]
I wanna throw off the burdens that will not budge
Cut loose the anchor of every grudge
I wanna feel the rush of what's worth fighting for
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Furler]
I just don't know
But this I know
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Peter Furler]
Love your neighbor as yourself
Treat each other kind
Read the words that Jesus said
And then let 'em free your mind
Forgive the ones who've hurt you most
Don't tarry in the past
Buy the Truth, never let it go
It's the only thing that lasts
[Post-Chorus:]
Hey
Hey
[Bridge: Michael Tait & Peter Furler]
And if our faith can't find a way
What's that say?
And if our hope can't help restore
What's it for?
And if our love can't unify
Tell me why
[Pre-Chorus: Petur Furler]
I just don't know
But this I know
[Chorus: Peter Furler & Michael Tait]
Love your neighbor as yourself
Treat each other kind (Treat each other kind)
Read the words that Jesus said
And then let 'em free your mind (Let 'em free your mind)
Forgive the ones who've hurt you most
Don't tarry in the past (Don't tarry in the past)
Buy the Truth, never let it go
It's the only thing (Only thing, ayy) (Only thing)
It's the only thing that lasts
