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
This holy ground
This holy ground
This holy ground
What are we doing to this sacred heart
His 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
Is holy ground
This holy ground
This 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
This holy ground
This holy ground
This holy ground
