Lyrics:Winwood/Capaldi/Spillane Music:Winwood/Capaldi/Spillane | |
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 |
