------Battle Grounds------

      
 We fight, oh we do fight,
 with every fiber in our body we fight
 You can hear sabers rattle through our life,
 each and every day and night

 We put up a battle royal,
 we fight at birth and scream and yell
 for small attention we must cry hard
 and oh yes we do fight like hell

 Rest a little, fight a lot,
 as we grow up we must fight much more
 with sibling or friend we will fight
 for toys, for girls, for boys, or an unwanted chore
 
 We even fight with our parents 
 to have the right to go out the door

 Unaware life's major battle begins
 just when we think we are free
 we fight for knowledge and for jobs
 sometimes it's either you or it's me

 Fight to pay bills, put food on the table
 and a roof over our head
 sometimes weary of life's constant battles
 we had as soon just stay in our bed

 we fight for the right or against what we think wrong
 never to fully understand
 that most of the fights that happen in life
 are not from rules made by man

 But the main reason for all confrontations
 is survival in a no winner land

 It comes to each one of us natural
 and it's hidden somewhere in our genes
 without our urge to fight and compete
 we would never have invented machines

 So think what you may the fights may be hard
 but you know they all have a reason
 We made it to where we are today
 by mankind fighting each day of each season.
