It Cannot Be is a song from Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. After God tells him to go to Nineveh and send His message, Jonah calls out to Him as he sings this song.

Jonah (Archibald Asparagus): 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 the message of your mercy!
Damascus or Jerusalem, I'll be there in a minute!
Any town in Israel-Just ask me and I'll be in it!
Shiloh, Gilgal, Jericho, just say the word!
But Nineveh, that is just absurd!
Joppa, Apheck, 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.
