Many years ago I used to sit on Mama's knee
And listen to the words of wisdom handed down to me
A story of two brothers long ago and far away
How one despised the other so he took his life away
She told of Cain and Abel, how Cain took Abel's life
How Abel pleased the Lord while Cain was filled with hate and strife
One good, the other evil, so it is with every man
But there comes an end to struggles 'til one gets the upper hand
I said, "Mama, I don't think I understand."
She said, "Don't let Cain kill Abel
Do all you can to keep that man alive."
She said, "Don't let Cain kill Abel
For He who is able can bring eternal life."

She said, "Cain is that old carnal man who lives inside of you
And Abel is the godly man, someday he'll live there too
Well, Cain will say that it's okay to do what pleases you
But Abel's way will be to say, 'Serve God in all you do.'"
"Someday you'll grow up big and strong and you'll become a man
You'll make your own decisions as you journey through the land
Then the time will come when you must side with one man or the other
And when you do the one you choose will take life from the other."
She said, "Don't let Cain kill Abel
Do all you can to keep that man alive."
She said, "Don't let Cain kill Abel
For He who is able can bring eternal life."
So many years have passed since I first heard what Mama said
About the battle between right and wrong that will go on in my head
But Abel is alive and well and in my heart today
And it's all because a little boy once heard his Mama say
Don't let Cain kill Abel
Do all you can to keep that man alive
She said, "Don't let Cain kill Abel
For He who is able can bring eternal life."
Don't let Cain kill Abel
Do all you can to keep that man alive
She said, "Don't let Cain kill Abel
For He who is able can bring eternal life."
