Not In My Name (© John McCutcheon)
You see the plane in the distance, you see the flame in the sky
See the young ones running for cover, see the old ones wondering why
They tell us that the world is a dangerous place, we live in a terrible time
But in Hiroshima, New York or in Baghdad it's the innocent who die for the crime
Through the ages I have watched all your holy wars, your jihads, your crusades
I have been used as inspiration, I've been used as an excuse for the murder and the misery you've made
I thought I made it clear in the Bible, in the Torah and in the Koran
What is it in my teaching about loving your enemies that you people don't understand?
