Lyrics It Cannot Be (From "Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie" Soundtrack) - VeggieTales

No, it cannot be
Your messages are meant for me
And my brothers
We are Your chosen people
And Nineveh
Well, they're not!

There must be some mistake
A big misunderstanding
It's really hard to take
How could You be so demanding?

For years, I've been Your messenger
From Moresheth to Gath
But Nineveh should get no chance to turn
They've earned Your wrath

No, it cannot be
Your messages are meant for me
And my brothers
We are Your chosen people
And Nineveh
Well, they're not

We're the good guys
And they're the bad guys!
Please, don't send me there
With a message of Your mercy!

Damascus or Jerusalem
I'll be there in a minute
Any town in Israel, just ask me
I'll be in it!
Shiloh, Gilgal, Jericho
Just say the word
But Nineveh?
That is just absurd

Joppa, Afek, Jezreel
They're all just fine
But Nineveh?
Oh, Nineveh
No
Nineveh is where I draw the line!
No, it cannot be
Your messages are meant for me
