Alicia Keys - Holy War lyrics

[Verse 1] If war is holy and s** is obscene Then we got it twisted in this lucid dream Baptized in boundaries, schooled in sin Divided by difference, s**uality and skin [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] What if s** 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
