| 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 |
