AceShowbiz - Alicia Keys unveils new song "Holy War" off her forthcoming sixth studio album "Here", which is due out on November 18. The "If Ain't Got You" hitmaker wants to connect humanity through love and peace in the anthemic track.
"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," she sings, "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."
"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," Alicia sings in the chorus.
