Holy War Lyrics by Alicia Keys Alicia Keys
Below, you will find the lyrics for Holy War by Alicia Keys.
If war is holy
And sex is obscene
We've got it twisted
In this lucid dream
Baptised in boundaries
Schooled in sin
Divided by difference
Sexuality and skin
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
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
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
Verse 1
What if sex was holy
And war was obscene
Verse 1
And it wasn't twisted
What a wonderful dream
Verse 1
Living for love
Unafraid of the end
Verse 1
Forgiveness is the only
Real revenge
Chorus 2
So we can heal each other and feel 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 feel each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, you 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
Outro
What if love was holy
And hate obscene
Outro
We should give life to this beautiful dream
'Cause peace and love
Ain't so far
Outro
If we nurse our wounds
Before they scar
Nurse our wounds
Before they scar
