Holy Ground Lyrics - Steve Winwood

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
