Say It Isn't True

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 trueIn the streets and the buildings

People in their lives

And the jobs they do for livings

Say it isn't true

And when you think of all the people

In the cities of the worlds

Who could vanish in a moment

Say it isn't trueSay it isn't true

(That there always has been and always will be war)

Say it isn't true

(And apart from all the finer things that men have struggled for)

Say it isn't true

(There always has been and always will be war)

Say it isn't trueI'm alive in the city

In a country of the world

And I wanna go on living

I wanna see my life unfold

You know it's hard to go on looking

At the stories of our days

And the dangers we are facing

Growing worse in every wayAnd 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 mindSay it isn't true

(That there always has been and always will be war)

Say it isn't true

(And apart from all the finer things that men have struggled for)

Say it isn't true

(There always has been and always will be war)

Say it isn't trueSay it

Say it isn't
