Holy Road Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

Last night I dreamed I was looking down 

On the planet Earth spinning round 

and round 

And as I cast my gaze about 

I watched her lovely light go out 

The light went out 

And floating in the black of space 

I was looking into God's own face 

And in his hands he held this tiny Earth 

He said "Well ain't it a shame what they've 

done to her 

After I'd shown them to the holy road 

The holy road 

After I'd shown them to the holy road 

The holy road" 

"Well, I laid a bounty in their hands 

And only gave them ten commands 

But they never learned their lessons very well 

And they drove my garden straight to hell 

That's when they fell off of the holy road 

The holy road 

That's when they fell off of the holy road 

The holy road" 

(And then he told me) 

"Well the popes were frauds and the kings 

were fools 

And your presidents only dupes and tools 

Of the money makers and the Chiefs of Staff 

Who worshipped of that golden calf 

They turned their backs upon the holy road 

The holy road 

They turned their backs upon the holy road 

The holy road" 

(And then I told him) 

"Well, you made the sun and you made the sky 

The things that crawl and the things that fly 

And then you made the human race" 

And he said 

"Well, everybody makes mistakes 

I thought they'd want to walk the holy road 

The holy road 

I thought they'd want to walk the holy road 

The holy road" 

Even though it was just a dream 

It seemed as real as it could seem 

And often dreams the truth forebodes 

You got to get back children on the holy road 

Get back children on the holy road 

Get back children on the holy road 

Get back children on the holy road 

Holy road, holy road 

Got to get back on the holy road 

The holy road 

Got to get back on the holy road 

Holy road 

Got to get back on the holy road 

The holy road 

On the holy road 

The holy road 

On the holy road people 

On the holy road now 

On the holy road now 

Holy road 

On the holy road children 

On the holy road 

Holy holy, holy road...
