Holy Ground (feat. Robert Robinson)

From the Album Don’t Stand Still

When I was young I could not speak
My tongue it was too weak
When the teacher called my name
Tried to talk, but nothing came
From the good book my Grandpa’ read
These words to me he said
Take a look at all he did
Shine your light, don’t keep it hid

The whole wide world
The whole wide world
The whole wide world
Depends on you

Out of pain there comes bliss
Guitar strings on my fingertips
You can dance, you can sing
You can soar without wings
To where the condor and eagle meet
Shooting clouds beneath your feet
Grab your dreams, don’t give up
Good for nothing, nothing but. . .

The whole wide world
The whole wide world
The whole wide world
Depends on you

The flower knows when to bloom
The water knows when to rise
In this world without end
How on earth can I
Love myself, if I can’t
Love somebody else
This ground is holy ground
This ground is holy ground

The whole wide world
The whole wide world
The whole wide world
Depends on you
