In the still of the night
Lying in the darkness
I listen to my heart
Say it isn't [bad word] In the dark and the quiet
The movements of my love
And the breathing of our children
Say it isn't [bad word] In the streets and the buildings
The people in their lives
And the jobs they do for a living
Say it isn't [bad word] And when you think of all the people
In the cities of the world
Who could vanish in a moment
Say it isn't [bad word] Say it isn't [bad word] That there always has been and always will be war
Say it isn't [bad word] And apart from all the fine things that men have [bad word] for
Say it isn't [bad word] There always has been and always will be war
Say it isn't [bad word] 
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 [bad word] That there always has been and always will be war
Say it isn't [bad word] And apart from all the fine things that man has [bad word] for
Say it isn't [bad word] There always has been and always will be war
Say it isn't [bad word] 
Say it...
Say it isn't...
