Holy War Lyrics - 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
