In the recent interview with the Citizen, Joni disclosed the words to several songs she is working on for her latest album. Here is one, a piece she described as "a good poem for courage through tough times, a soldier's poem, really."
HOLY WAR
There's nothing on earth
As unholy as a war,
The rich sacrifice the poor.
If I had a heart I'd cry.
In fairy tales the good go to heaven
And the evil go to hell,
Ring the funeral bell.
If I had a heart I'd cry.
Holy earth, religion has failed us,
It failed to make us kind,
It spoke of light but kept us blind.
If I had a heart I'd cry.
