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
