Sacred
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary
So here is my confession
It's an obsession
I'm a firm believer
And a warm reciever
And I've made my decision
This is religion
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary
Spreading the news around the world
Taking the word to boys and girls
I'm a firm believer
And a warm reciever
And I will go down on my knees
When I see beauty
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary
Sacred, Holy [2 times]
Sacred
(To put it in words, to write it down)
Holy
(That is walking on hallowed ground) [repeat fadeout]
