Walking on Sacred Ground |
| I once was much like you |
| Had a nine-to-five, and a mortgage due |
| The rat race got to me |
| First it ate me up, then it set me free |
| One day it buried me alive |
| I snapped and almost lost my mind |
| I crawled out just in time to go |
| Walking, walking, walking |
| Walking on sacred ground |
| Walking, walking, walking |
| Walking on sacred ground |
| At first I lost my way |
| But I stumbled on until one day |
| I came across a stone |
| With the name of every soul I’d known |
| I edged around it carefully |
| 'Til it became a memory |
| That set my spirit free, to go |
| Walking, walking, walking |
| Walking on sacred ground |
| Walking, walking, walking |
| Walking on sacred ground |
| Mmm, we’re all afraid of going under |
| Honey, is it really any wonder? |
| Caught between the silence and the thunder |
| I once was much like you |
| Always a lot to do |
| I ran so hard to stay in place |
| The wind took on a bitter taste |
| Now I don’t run that race — I go |
| Walking, walking, walking |
| Walking on sacred ground |
| Walking, walking, walking |
| Walking on sacred ground |
