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
