Lyrics

Sacred Place

United in a state of emergence
The face of evil on the hunt blew down the doors
Our skyline bleeds an open wound so urgent
And blessed are the missing souls it mourns
The missing souls we mourn

In tribute to all the heroes in the story
And for every face and name on the hallowed scenes
Giving rise and renewed faith to wave Old Glory
For God and country and a fundamental dream
God and country and a fundamental dream

A pool of tears turned to a sea of human kindness
Sent a ripple to a wave across the earth
From everywhere they came
To help and heal the pain
To spread love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place

Hundreds turned to thousands turned to millions
Giving of themselves with heavy hearts
Our spirit shines a light on its resilience
Twin beams to guide us from our own tragic dark
Guide us from our very own tragic dark

A pool of tears turned to a sea of human kindness
From a ripple to a wave across the earth
Aching lives forever changed
Giving all they had they gave
To spread love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place
To spread love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place

Now innocence has gone to seek it’s shelter
Stranded in search of what life used to be
It cannot comprehend this vicious helter-skelter
For the sake of a god, a country
and a fundamental’s dream
A god, a country and a fundamental’s dream

A pool of tears turned to a sea of human kindness
From a ripple to a wave across the earth
New York’s finest and New York’s bravest
We used all the strength they gave us
To spread love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place
For the lives that were lost that day
In NY, DC and PA
There is love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place
Love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place

If you ever find yourself stepping on your neighbor
To make a buck or as a means to an end
Remember when you waited in line to help a grieving stranger
With their portrait of a missing family member or friend
A missing loving family member or a very close friend

When a pool of tears turned to a sea of human kindness
Sent a ripple to a wave across the earth
Giving to this day
Is a world that has given way
To spread it’s love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place

No matter how much the heart still aches
The chain will never break
That spreads love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place
That spreads love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place
Love over ruins of the hate on a sacred place
