The Champ Jaxon Band - The Grove

Defend the Sacred

You can't drink that oil
You can't eat that cash
Only have one big mama
And we've got to make her last
The hour is upon us
We have to make a choice
Do we just watch her burn
Or rise up and use our voice

I look around me
I see so much greed and hatred
I wonder who's gonna help me
Defend the sacred

Watch them eagles fly
And the gators roam
Through that big river or grass
That they all call home
The time is getting short
The stakes are surely high
Are you just gonna sit there
And watch the Everglades die

I look around me
I see so much greed and hatred
I wonder who's gonna help us
Defend the sacred
Defend the sacred

Just another emtpy suit
With a handshake and a lie
Stealing and plundering
While forsaking all the tribes

I look around me
I see so much greed and hatred
I wonder who's gonna help us
Defend the sacred
Defend the sacred
Defend the sacred
Ooohhhhoohoooo
Defend the sacred
