“Holy” is about looking within to find a sense of peace. Jamila finds peace and fulfillment in God, as she references biblical passages throughout.
In an interview with Pitchfork Jamila said of the track:
In the first part of that song, I’m thinking about how hard it is for people, especially blac...
[Intro]
Give me today my daily bread
Help me to walk alone ahead
[Refrain]
Though I walk through the darkest valley I will fear no love
Oh my smile my mind reassure me I don't need no one
[Pre-Chorus]
Woke up this morning with my mind set on loving me
With my mind set on loving me
Woke up this morning with my mind set on loving me
With my mind set on loving me
[Chorus]
I'm not lonely, I'm alone
And I'm holy by my own
I'm not lonely, I'm alone
And I'm holy by my own
[Bridge]
Ye, the bad days may come
The lover may leave
The winter may not
Hey, the map of your palms
The temple you be
You're all that you got
Ye, the bad days may come
The lover may leave
The winter may not
Hey, the map of your palms
The temple you be
You're all that you got
[Refrain]
Though I walk through the darkest valley I will fear no love
Oh my smile my mind reassure me I don't need no one
[Pre-Chorus]
Woke up this morning with my mind set on loving me
With my mind set on loving me
Woke up this morning with my mind set on loving me
With my mind set on loving me
[Chorus]
I'm not lonely, I'm alone
And I'm holy by my own
I'm not lonely, I'm alone
And I'm holy by my own
[Outro]
My cup is full up, what I got is enough
Nobody completes me, don't mess with my stuff
My cup is full up, what I got is enough
Nobody completes me, don't mess with my love
Surely, surely, surely, surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me
Shall follow me
Shall follow me
