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
