    A funky commentary on religious war. Catholics against protestants, Jews against Christians...when will it stop?
    CD: Blue Light Love

    Story Behind the Song
    The Spanish Inquisition. The fate of Native Americans. Converting natives in Fiji. Religious imperialism. Shouldn't religion be about love, forgiveness and tolerance for other beliefs? Why do we continue to kill each other over religion? It pains me to say that we still haven't come very far...

    Lyrics
    Questions (Stop this Holy War)
    © Leslie Waller 2002

    Chorus:
    Hey big man please tell me what you know
    No one's here to teach me, help me grow
    Hey big man please tell me what you know
    No one's here to teach me, help me grow

    Hey...can you help me? Hey big man, can you teach me?

    First Rap:
    Inquisition is imposition
    You know not what you do
    Leave those natives alone my friend
    They see much more than you
    Being ashamed of what we are
    Is never going to get us far
    Love and forgiveness
    Is where it's at
    And I don't need you
    To tell me that...(stop this holy war)

    Chorus

    Second Rap:
    For the thousands of years that we've been on the planet
    You'd think we'd find a better way to handle it
    Making holy ghosts out of our loved ones
    Fighting for rituals even the dumb ones
    No contraception and celibate preachers
    Do you really think that's the best way to reach us?
    The fruits of our victories
    Lay gasping for breath
    On Sunday bloody Sunday
    We'll come for the rest

    Bridge:
    The gentle dancer has no partner
    So play the music a little louder
    And now the children have no mother
    So why not tell them "pray a little louder"

    So many questions that you must answer
    So many questions and still no answer
    (stop this holy war)

    Chorus

    Hey...can you hear me? Can you teach me? No one's here...
