It Can`t Be You — текст песни (Stevie Holland)

A mother is crying

Her child is gone

Somehow the war found him right before dawn

Quietly waiting

To see the remains

All that he was, now a coffin contains



Don`t they know?

Can`t they see?

Won`t they learn from history?

They will kill

And for who?

God, it can`t be you

It can`t be you



A mother remembers

Caressing his head

Two weeks ago he was safe in his bed

Angels now sing him

A sweet lullaby

Faith is the one thing she`ll have to get by



Don`t they know?

Can`t they see?

Won`t they learn from history?

They will kill

And for who?

God, it can`t be you

It can`t be you



Up to the heavens their love they proclaim

How can their hatred be done in your name?

How can they go into churches and pray -

Then take creation and throw it away?



Don`t they know?

Can`t they see?

Won`t they learn from history?

They will kill

And for who?

God, it can`t be you

It can`t be you
