Holy Ground

Jack Hardy

[Verse 1]
Holy ground, what has made it holy?
Not the sound of blood spilled to hold it
Not the crimes of those who bought and sold it
Nor the signs of religions that are loaded

[Verse 2]
Holy ground, what has made it holy?
Not the bound books or the scrolls
That claim to be the one and only true text
To guide us through this world and the next

[Verse 3]
Holy ground, what has made it holy?
Not the bound prisoners and refugees
Not the sound of all their lamentations
Found in red tape and humiliation

[Verse 4]
Holy ground, what has made it holy?
Not the crowns of imperial majesty
Not the thorns of any human sacrifice
Nor any form of eternal paradise

[Verse 5]
Holy ground, what has made it holy?
No crescent moon or bright morning star
No crusade of sword or scimitar
Nor any wise men come from afar

[Verse 6]
Holy ground, what has made it holy?
No precious oil, gold or frankincense
Take this sword if you still insist
Divide the child, said Solomon in his wisdom
