  • Holy war
    Genocide
    Suicide
    Hate and cruelty
    How can this be holy?
    If I had a heart, I'd cry

    These ancient tales
    The good go to heaven
    And the wicked ones burn in hell
    Ring the funeral bells
    If I had a heart, I'd cry

    There's just too many people now
    Too little land
    Much too much desire
    You feel so feeble now
    It's so out of hand
    Big bombs and barbed wire
    We've set our lovely sky
    Our lovely sky
    On fire

    There's just too many people now
    And too little land
    Too much rage and desire
    It makes you feel so feeble now
    It's so out of hand
    Big bombs and barbed wire
    Can't you see
    Our destiny?
    We're making this earth
    Our funeral pyre

    Holy Earth
    How can we heal you?
    We cover you like a blight
    Strange birds of appetite
    If I had a heart, I'd cry
    If I had a heart, I'd cry
    If I had a heart, I'd cry Writer/s: Joni Mitchell
