Holy Ground |
What are we doing to this holy ground, this land that God gave to us all |
'Cause everywhere I hear that crashing sound that trees make when they fall |
Why can’t we understand when it turns to sand |
There’s no way you can bring it back again |
Why don’t we change the plan, and try to save this land |
And make a promise not to hurt again this holy ground |
What are we doing to this sacred heart, this heart that’s beating for us all |
'Cause everywhere I see it torn apart as tears like rain will fall |
Why don’t we take the time, take a look inside |
Try to understand what’s going wrong |
Stop trying to change the tide, overcome our pride |
Take off our shoes, this place we’re standing on is holy ground |
Get out of doing the things you do in the dark |
Keep the flame alive in your heart |
What are we doing to the children’s lives, the ones we shouldn’t hurt at all |
'Cause in the night I hear their lonely cries, so frail and small |
How can we just stand by and watch them fade and die |
Before they even reach the age of ten |
Why don’t we heal the pain, take away this shame |
And make a vow to give them back again this holy ground |
