It Can't Be You Lyrics - Singles - 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
