Lyrics:
 
If the war is over,
Twenty years from today,
At sunup,
Will you be able to say,
“I fought for something”?
 
Twenty years from today,
Did you choose a side
Or stand aside when it came time to choose
And throw the dice to decide
Who will win, and who will lose?
 
And twenty years from today
Will you remember why you fought?
Or didn't fight? And was it all in vain?
Were the things that matter most to you,
Were they worth the suffering and pain?
 
Or did you stay on the sideline
For fear of choosing wrong?
Or losing it all because
The cost of doing what you believe is right
Wasn't worth the risk of standing?
 
Twenty years from today,
Will you look on in regret
And wish when what you could have stood for
Is taken and long gone?
And say to yourself each morning,
"I was there. I could have chose–
Chose to stand.”
And wonder 'til your grave
What could have been?
 
And twenty years from today
Will you remember why you fought?
Or didn't fight? And was it all in vain?
Were the things that matter most to you,
Were they worth the suffering and pain?
 
Or did you stay on the sideline
For fear of choosing wrong?
Or losing it all because
The cost of doing what you believe is right
Wasn't worth the risk of standing?
 
Will you look on in regret
And wish when what you could have stood for
Is taken and long gone?
And say to yourself each morning,
"I was there. I could have chose–
Chose to stand.”
And wonder 'til your grave
What could have been?
 
And twenty years from today
Will you remember why you fought?
Or didn't fight? And was it all in vain?
Were the things that matter most to you,
Were they worth the suffering and pain?
 
Or did you stay on the sideline
For fear of choosing wrong?
Or losing it all because
The cost of doing what you believe is right
Wasn't worth the risk of standing?
 
Wasn't worth the risk of standing?
