jihad


There's two worlds
in which every battle is fought
Two worlds
in which every treasure is sought
Two worlds
in which every kind of game is played
Two worlds in which to pray
that the bridge you find yourself standing on
is soundly made

Preparing for war
in turban and gown
On his knees in the sand
bowing on the ground
In the direction of the morning sun
feeling the warmth of each ray
Collecting strength and resolve
says a prayer for the new day

Jihad inside you
Jihad all around
Two worlds
to bring in focus
Two worlds
to which we're bound

Preparing for war
against an enemy the TV has shown
G.I. thinks of loved ones
and kisses a photo from home
Recites a prayer from memory
and checks his battle gear
Gets himself ready
to feel no fear

There's two worlds
in which every battle is fought
Two worlds
in which every treasure is sought
Two worlds
in which every kind of game is played
Two worlds in which to pray
that the bridge you find yourself standing on
is soundly made

Jihad inside you
Jihad all around
Two worlds
to bring in focus
Two worlds
to which we're bound
