In the still of the night
|
Lying in the darkness
|
I listen to my heart
|
Say it isn't true
|
In the dark and the quiet
|
The movements of my love
|
And the breathing of our children
|
Say it isn't true
|
In the streets and the buildings
|
The people in their lives
|
And the jobs they do for a living
|
Say it isn't true
|
And when you think of all the people
|
In the cities of the world
|
Who could vanish in a moment
|
Say it isn't true
|
Say it isn't true
|
That there always has been and always will be war
|
Say it isn't true
|
And apart from all the fine things that men have struggled for
|
Say it isn't true
|
There always has been and always will be war
|
Say it isn't true
|
|
I'm alive in a city
|
In a country of the world
|
And I want to go on living
|
I want to see my life unfold
|
You know it's hard to go on looking
|
At the stories of our day
|
And the dangers we're all facing
|
Growing worse in every way
|
And you would think with all of the genius
|
And the brilliance of these times
|
We might find a higher purpose
|
And a better use of mind
|
|
Say it isn't true
|
That there always has been and always will be war
|
Say it isn't true
|
And apart from all the fine things that man has struggled for
|
Say it isn't true
|
There always has been and always will be war
|
Say it isn't true
|
|
Say it...
|
Say it isn't...
|

Say It Isn't True
