Why We Fight Lyrics - Gatsby's American Dream

So we beat on our boats against the current 

So we beat on these waters are uncharted bravely 

We sail alone riding the storm 

Clutching honor bearing pride 

Ocean salt that burns our wounds 

Only this immortal ship will prevail 

The sun sinks into distant waters in the west 

And off to the east the green light shimmers 

Amidst the fog, it stands desolate 

And harbors broken dreams 

Which we will defend
