Holy War

If war is holy and s*x is obscene We've got it twisted in this lucid dream Baptized in boundaries, schooled in sin Divided by difference, s*xuality and skin Oh, 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 Yeah, 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 Oh, maybe we should love somebody Oh, maybe we could care a little more So maybe we should love somebody Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war What if s*x 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 Oh, 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 Yeah, 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're open So maybe we should love somebody Maybe we could care a little more So maybe we should love somebody Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war What if love is 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 --- Holy War - Alicia Keys
