Walking on Sacred Ground

I once was much like you

Had a nine-to-five, and a mortgage due

The rat race got to me

First it ate me up, then it set me free

One day it buried me alive

I snapped and almost lost my mind

I crawled out just in time to go

Walking, walking, walking

Walking on sacred ground

Walking, walking, walking

Walking on sacred ground

At first I lost my way

but I stumbled on until one day

I came across a stone

with the name of every soul i'd known

I edged around it carefully

'til it became a memory

that set my spirit free, to go

Walking, walking, walking

Walking on sacred ground

Walking, walking, walking

Walking on sacred ground

Mmm, we're all afraid of going under

Honey, is it really any wonder?

caught between the silence and the thunder

I once was much like you

Always a lot to do

I ran so hard to stay in place,

the wind took on a bitter taste

Now I don't run that race - I go

Walking, walking, walking

Walking on sacred ground

Walking, walking, walking

Walking on sacred ground
