Lyrics

Every Sacred Thing

Five thousand years of repression
Five thousand years of the lie
And I can't help but hoping as I'm watching the changes
That maybe we're watching it die

Paved over forests for strip malls

And I point to the universe shaking their shoulders
Saying man do you need more than this?

Is it any wonder that the spirit cries
Is it wonder – when we sanitize
Every sacred thing

Maybe a hurricane's coming
Or maybe it's a soft rain
And I don't have the answers
But every part of my being
is laughing or crying
screaming for change!

Is it any wonder that the spirit cries
Is it wonder – when we sanitize
Every sacred thing
