Sacred Ground Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Talk to the water fl owing under my heels
On the precipice I falter unknowing how it feel
I′m fi ghting these forces, strapping me
To the bars of this cage
A prisoner to the water
It frightens me to think
One more step forward and I just might start to sink
Prairie Princess she rides away with my heart
I left out on this page
But I will be free someday
From these things that drag me down
I will ride the holy river
Until I fi nd some sacred ground
Look at me fumbling for these words
I want to use
I'm just nobody stumbling in this
Place I′m bound to lose
In the dying leaves you'll fi nd me wandering
My feet feel like I'm walking on air
Out of place, out of time


My notes are out of key
I look to everyone else
To see them looking back at me
And I′m wondering to myself
What the hell am I doing here
But I will be free someday
From these things that drag me down
I will ride the holy river
Until I fi nd some sacred ground
Time is abused, with these hotel blues
Awoken I await the revelation of the ruse
Looking for the comfort of understanding
Looking for some peace in my heart
Seek and ye shall fi nd, ask and ye shall receive
Direction in the dark night faith to speak what you
Believe
Strength to stay together
When you′re two minutes from falling apart
But I will be free someday
From these things that drag me down
I will ride the holy river
Until I fi nd some sacred ground
