Holy War - Alicia Keys
If war is holy and sex is obscene
Then we got it twisted
in this lucid dream
Baptized in boundaries
schooled in sin
Divided by difference
sexuality and skin
So we can hate each other
and fear each other
We can build these walls
between each other
Baby blow by blow
and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in
yourself locked in
We can hate each other
and fear each other
We can build these walls
between each other
Baby blow by blow
and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in
yourself locked
Maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
Maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing
the bombs of holy war
What if sex was holy
and war was obscene
And it wasn't twisted
what a wonderful dream
Living for love unafraid of the end
Forgiveness is the only
real revenge
So we can heal each other
and fill each other
We can break these walls
between each other
Baby blow by blow
and brick by brick
Keep yourself open yourself open
We can heal each other
and fill each other
We can break these walls
between each other
Baby blow by blow
and brick by brick
Keep yourself open you open
Maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
Maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing
the bombs of holy war
What if love was holy
and hate obscene
We should give life to
this beautiful dream
Cause peace and love ain't so far
If we nurse our wounds
before they scar
Nurse our wounds before they scar
