Emeli Sandé - Love Not War lyrics

The politics, the politics, been crazy
I swear the television's trying
To kill my baby
This crazy guy is holding drivers crazy
Autumn mansion's really kinda scary
Now he said
"Why you acting like you'll live forever?"
You've got to cherish any
Time you get together
The world can change it's way
It must stay changing
But everytime I pray, I hear the same thing

Put down your sword, take less, and give more
Love your brother, sister, like before
Make love, and not war
Make love, and not war not war, not war
Not war, not war, not war
Love your brother, sister, like before
Make love, and not war
Make love, and not war not war, not war
Not war, not war

I know that disrespect can get
Your blood to boiling
But keep in my mind that violence is a poison
Raise your hand up, baby you’re anointed
You are loved and needed so important
Now what a shame, bullies left in charge now
Intimidation always trying to bring
My heart down but no matter how much
Gravity the rain brings
Every time I pray I hear the same thing

Put down your sword, take less, and give more
Love your brother, sister, like before
Make love, and not war
Make love, and not war not war, not war
Not war, not war, not war
Love your brother, sister, like before
Make love, and not war
Make love, and not war not war, not war
Not war, not war

Every time I use my third eye
Message is the same
We all have an equal part and
Choice to love or hate
But humans have a tendency
To fear and aggravate
Find your truest power when you meditate
But when you find it hold on
Tight and you shall elevate
Love is needed more than ever do not hesitate
Mother needs some life support
We cannot be late
Love is needed more than ever do not hesitate
Now ego is the friendliest of your frenemies
Be careful or he’ll rob you
Of all your energy
Power struggles will forever be
A waste of time
What’s yours is yours, what’s God’s is God’s
Cannot be mine
What’s yours is yours, what’s God’s is God’s
Cannot be mine
What’s yours is yours, what’s God’s is God’s
Cannot be mine

So put down your sword
Take less and give more
Love your sister, brother like before
Make love not war
