It Can't Be You Lyrics

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
