Holy Smoke
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Truth Behind Holy SmokeLyrics
I see your bible's open
I observe that you have a Bible open
But your mind is closed
Your mind seems closed despite the open Bible
You're a sinner just like me
You, like me, are a sinner
So why are you casting stones?
Questioning why you are criticizing or condemning others
When it looks a little different
When faced with something different
You think you know what love isn't
You believe you understand what love is not
So my prayer for you
Expressing a wish or hope for the person
Is that you could see right through
That they could see beyond the facade
All this holy smoke that you're blowing
Critiquing the hypocrisy or insincerity in their religious actions
You say my friends can't get to heaven then
Rejecting the idea that certain people won't reach heaven
Hell I'm not going
Asserting personal determination not to conform to such beliefs
The word of God ain't a gun
Stating that the Bible shouldn't be used as a weapon
You can point at everyone
Criticizing the tendency to accuse or blame everyone
Your hate is showing
Pointing out the manifestation of hatred in their actions
Through all this holy smoke that you're blowing
Reiterating the presence of insincere religious actions
No there ain't nothing wrong
Arguing that there is nothing wrong with loving who you love
With loving who you love
Emphasizing commonality among people
We're all cut from the same cloth
Questioning the right to pass judgment on others
So who are you to judge?
Challenging the lack of understanding as a basis for condemnation
Just cause you don't understand it
Advocating for tolerance and acceptance
Don't mean you should reprimand it
Suggesting that empathy and understanding align with Jesus' teachings
What Jesus would do
Expressing a desire for actions aligned with Jesus' teachings
Is what I'd like to see from you
Rejecting the hypocrisy and insincerity in religious practices
Not all this holy smoke that you're blowing
Repeating the criticism of insincere religious actions
You say my friends can't get to heaven then
Reiterating rejection of the notion that certain individuals won't reach heaven
Hell I'm not going
Reiterating personal determination not to conform to such beliefs
The word of God ain't a gun
Affirming that the word of God should not be used as a weapon
You can point at everyone
Warning against accusing or blaming everyone
Your hate is showing
Highlighting the presence of hatred in their actions
Through all this holy smoke that you're blowing
Reiterating the criticism of insincere religious actions
All this holy smoke, holy smoke
Emphasizing the prevalence of insincere religious actions
Yeah we're all choking
Describing the suffocating nature of the insincerity
On your holy smoke, holy smoke
Repeating the suffocating effect of the insincerity
All this holy smoke that you're blowing
Reiterating the criticism of insincere religious actions
You say my friends can't get to heaven then
Rejecting the notion that certain individuals won't reach heaven
Hell I'm not going
Reiterating personal determination not to conform to such beliefs
The word of God ain't a gun
Affirming that the word of God should not be used as a weapon
You can point at everyone
Warning against accusing or blaming everyone
Your hate is showing
Highlighting the presence of hatred in their actions
Through all this holy smoke that you're blowing
Reiterating the criticism of insincere religious actions
Through all this holy smoke that you're blowing
Reiterating the prevalence of insincere religious actions
