Holy Ground

As a restless child learned
You may fail and be returned
To early love and those who care
A holy ground is waiting there

As a selfless mother said
You can't plan love just be lead
But you will always have my lap
So rest your heart, I'll trace a map

Because
A healing home's a holy ground
When the last of love falls out
You can land where you began
You can land safe in my hand
A healing home's a holy ground
And life long flames warm different now
As you travel down new paths
You'll feel my push
Wind at your back

As a restless child learned
Livings hard and peace is earned
But never taught the honest truth that
Troubles trees can still bear fruit

As a breathless lover said
Some branches plucked
Some branches shed
But for some the light is free
And that is who I'll choose to be

For a healing home's a holy ground
But sometimes home's where hands are bound
And all you've heard is you must stay
Maybe true of yesterday

But healing homes are holy grounds
And life has many not yet found
If you can't land where you began
You can land safe in my hand

Sought refuge
Found a painful scene
No holy ground
Was holding me

When what I knew
And love fell through
I realized
I clung to you

For I watched
The city drown
From tears that
Mourned my holy ground

Learned of love left incomplete
Learned of houses just concrete
