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 our love And the breathing of our children Say it isn't true In 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 our worlds 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 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 true I'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 way And you would think with all of the genius And the brilliance of our 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 finer things that men have struggled for Say it isn't true There always has been and always will be war
