Traffic - Holy Ground Lyrics
(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 fallWhy can't we understand when it turns to sandThere's no way you can bring it back againWhy don't we change the plan, and try to save this landAnd make a promise not to hurt again this holy groundWhat 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 fallWhy don't we take the time, take a look insideTry to understand what's going wrongStop trying to change the tide, overcome our prideTake off our shoes, this place we're standing on is holy groundGet out of doing the things you do in the darkKeep the flame alive in your heartWhat 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 smallHow can we just stand by and watch them fade and dieBefore they even reach the age of tenWhy don't we heal the pain, take away this shameAnd make a vow to give them back again this holy ground------------------------------------------------------------------------1994 FS Music Ltd./Freedom Songs Ltd.
