Sacred Ground

Verse 1:

Planted my seeds in the store-bought ground
Waited for life but heard no sound
Eight dollar bag of poisoned earth
What happened to the soil's true worth?
Down the drain our waste all flows
To treatment plants where nothing grows
They kill the life with chemicals bright
Then sell it back as fertilized lies

Pre-Chorus:

We're drinking what we flushed away
Eating poison every day
Disconnected from the earth
Forgot our soil's sacred worth

Chorus:

There's a better way to grow
Ancient wisdom that we know
Composting cycles, life renewed
From waste to wealth, the old made new
Seeds of change are in our hands
Healing soil, healing lands
Breaking free from toxic chains
Life returns when wisdom reigns

Verse 2:

Sewage sludge on vegetables growing
Pharmaceutical rivers flowing
CAFO waste in bags they sell
Creating agricultural hell
But our great-grands knew the way
Bucket systems, wood chips, clay
Carbon balance, natural flow
That's how healthy gardens grow

Pre-Chorus:

We're drinking what we flushed away
Eating poison every day
Disconnected from the earth
Forgot our soil's sacred worth

Chorus:

There's a better way to grow
Ancient wisdom that we know
Composting cycles, life renewed
From waste to wealth, the old made new
Seeds of change are in our hands
Healing soil, healing lands
Breaking free from toxic chains
Life returns when wisdom reigns

Bridge:

Every leaf that hits the ground
Becomes the soil where life is found
Nothing wasted in nature's plan
If we could just remember when...
We were part of living systems
Not apart from earth's great wisdom
Every ending, new beginning
In the cycles, we are spinning

Final Chorus:

There's a better way to grow
Ancient wisdom that we know
Composting cycles, life renewed
From waste to wealth, the old made new
Seeds of change are in our hands
Healing soil, healing lands
Breaking free from toxic chains
Life returns when wisdom reigns

Outro:

Plant the seed of conscious choice
Let the earth reclaim its voice
In our gardens, in our hearts
The revolution gently starts
