Church Falling Down

Loss of the spirit followed loss of the heart

Ashes were scattered and drifted apart

A heart that is lost can never be the same

When love turns to hurt and hurt turns to blame

There’s a church falling down

A church falling down

Sacred secrets spoken out loud

There’s a church falling down

It ain’t right

Sister, mama, lover, little child

I’m so sick and sorry now

Oaths from the altar, memories won

Mysteries and natures coming undone

There’s a church falling down

A church falling down

Something holy thrown down on the ground

There’s a church falling down

It ain’t right

Well, you warned me and I heard you

But I didn’t hear you right

I was wounded and wailing

Lost from the light

The promises and omens

Turned out all the same

When love turned to hurt and

Hurt turned to blame

There’s a church falling down

A church falling down

Abandoned, forsaken, left out in the rain

There’s a church falling down

It ain’t right
