Sacred Ground
Embracing Unity: Finding Harmony in Lois Mahalia's Sacred Ground
Lyrics
Let's get together
Encouraging unity and collaboration
Lift our faces to the weather
Embracing life and facing challenges together
Start living in the present tense
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present
Let's break the bread
Symbolic gesture of sharing and unity
Lose the judgements in our heads
Letting go of preconceived judgments
Cause here and now makes perfect sense
Highlighting the significance of the current moment
We're all in this as one
Expressing shared humanity and interconnectedness
Circling the only sun
Metaphorically referencing a collective journey around the sun
Round and round and round all over again
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of life experiences
We've got to come together
Stressing the need for collective action
To find the sacred ground
Seeking a profound and spiritual connection
We've got to help one another
Advocating for mutual support and assistance
It all comes around - It comes around
Highlighting the cyclical nature of events and consequences
Say a little prayer
Suggesting a call for empathy and positive thoughts
For the ones who need some care
Requesting care and compassion for those in need
And a place to call their home
Yearning for a sense of belonging and security
Let's let each other be
Promoting acceptance and allowing others to be themselves
Sparkling leaves on the wide old tree
Symbolizing diversity and unity in nature
Don't be the wind that blows
Advising against causing disturbances or chaos
We're all in this as one
Reiterating the interconnectedness of humanity
Circling the only sun
Reflecting on the cyclical journey around the sun
Round and round and round all over again
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of life's cycles
We've got to come together
Reiterating the importance of collective effort
To find the sacred ground
Seeking a spiritual and harmonious state
We've got to help one another
Encouraging support and collaboration
It all comes around - It comes around
Highlighting the inevitable recurrence of consequences
Let your heart sail
Encouraging openness and emotional exploration
Far out beyond the pale
Symbolic journey beyond conventional boundaries
On an orbit of the moon
Metaphor for exploring new, uncharted territories
An orbit of the moon
Repetition for emphasis on the metaphorical journey
We've got to come together
Reiterating the importance of unity and collaboration
To find the sacred ground
Expressing the quest for a spiritual connection
We've got to help one another
Advocating for mutual assistance and support
It all comes around - It comes around
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of events and consequences
