Lyrics Sacred Land - Jack Savoretti

Sacred Land

There’s no need to be standing
Trying to look like you know what you’re doing now
Sitting down can keep you still
But everybody needs to get around
Walking down the streets, stuck in a pace
We can’t keep up so we’re walking on our own
‘Cause, if we were to stand back from the bustle
Of the city crowds we’d probably lose ourselves
Trying to get back home
So we educate yourself
Learn to live without the vision of the terrifying hell
Pulled your head up proud and free
Let yourself into
Sacred land calling me
Tell me why just thinking of you make me feel
Like I was born the day you left
They said that all this is fairy loving world
But where’s the justice in love and theft?
Walking down the street stuck in a pace
You can’t keep up so you’re walking on your own
Cause if you were to stand back from the hustle
Of the city streets you’d probably find yourself
Trying to get back home
So we educate yourself
Learn to live without the vision of the terrifying hell
Pulled your head up proud and free
Let yourself into
Sacred land calling me
We educate yourself
Learn to live without the vision of the terrifying hell
Pulled your head up proud and free
Let yourself into
Sacred land calling me
Sacred land calling me
I would have been a singer if I’d known how to sing
I would have been a painter if I knew how to paint
I would have been a dreamer but I woke up
