This Is Worth Fighting For

I saw a peaceful old valley
With a carpet of corn for a floor
And I heard a voice within me whisper
This is worth fighting for

I saw a little old cabin
And the river that flowed by the door
And I heard a voice within me whisper
This is worth fighting for

Didn't I build that cabin?
Didn't I plant that corn?
Didn't my folks before me
Fight for this country, before I was born?

I gathered my loved ones around me
And I gazed at each face I adore
And I heard that voice within me thunder
This is worth fighting for

The other day
We passed through a little old valley
And a carpet of corn for a floor
And it seemed there was somethin'
Way down inside of me kept sayin'
Son, that's worth fightin' for

Little further long
We passed along a dilapidated cabin
One of them kind
Was old man river
Flowin' right by the door

Seemed like this thing
Down inside of me
Kept on sayin'
Son. that's worth fightin' for

So, I got to thinkin'
Didn't I help to build that cabin?
And didn't I help to plant that corn?

And didn't my folks
Way yonder before me
Fight for this country
Way before I was born?

I gathered my loved ones around me
And I gazed at each face I adore
And I heard that voice within me thunder
This is worth fighting for
