Jonny 5 - Build a Mosque lyrics

Build a mosque Plant a tree Put up a cross And believe Plan a march Hold a fast Break the silence Grow the gra** Build a mosque Make a plan Show the world Take a stand Stand your ground Zero in Believe in love Here again God is great God is good God is larger Than a book God cannot be contained by pages Flames of anger won't make her shook Nope, this is what I believe The words of the bible leave my belief To be most sacred inside of me where me ego's naked Try to be a vacant vessel Let the holy ghost take it's breath And breathe it into me so soup for the enemy's soul In vitrol Then release control like a free throw I don't consider our religion the same And I'm not interested in trackin all the quibbles and claims Or every sensitive reaction to insensitive actions And it depends who you ask and eventually drives you a little insane I DO believe that all religion can change And evolve within the frame it's scripture contain And reveal God's truth and make the picture more plain And tend to the world's wounds and individual pains Some individuals prey on individuals praying We must not play into their ridiculous aims Arbitrary lines drawn in the middle of main street Sayin' "keep back or we hafta do irrational things!" I don't believe in a God like that I don't believe we should even treat a child like that Like "follow these rules here or I'll strike back" Without any conversation just a series of traps And I understand I've got some serious rivals Worshipping the voice of tyrants they hear in the bible Or the Qur'an or the Torah but that doesn't mean I will Because to me, a vengeful God is a false idol And an objects an object Even the word of God isn't where God is If you make it too sacred you've robbed it Of it's true power so watch it And when they burn a book Turn away Memorize the words Learn to pray Give to the poor Make 'em laugh Construct a bridge Pave a path Build a mosque Plant a tree Speak your truth Plan a feast Say it loud Stand at ease Make it clear We come in peace
