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

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, 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

This heart that's beating for us all? Ooh

'Cause everywhere I see it torn apart

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

Is holy ground, 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, watch them fade and die

Before they even reach the age of ten?

Why don't we heal the pain, take away this shame

Make a vow to give them back again?

This holy ground, this holy ground

This holy ground, this holy ground

This holy ground, this holy ground

This holy ground, this holy ground

This oh, holy ground, holy ground

Holy ground, holy

Are you there? Holy ground, oh, oh no

Holy ground, holy
