Mike, if you are reading this, PLEASE record a pro-shot live version of this song! My wife and I are big fans of your live acoustic work, it would be the perfect song.
(Quran 2:31) And when said your Lord unto the angels : I shall place in the earth an inheritor... Said they, "Shall You place within it one who shall commit corruption within it and shall shed the blood while we glorify You with Your praise and hallow You?" Said He : Indeed I know what you know not...
Step Lightly /lyrics Come gather 'round people, wherever you are, And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept that soon, you'll be dreched to the bone If this whole world to you is worth saving Then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone Cause the times they are a changing I'm choking there's no air to breathe, all these chemicals are poisoning me I feel like I ain't got no space, I got to get out of this place Cause everybody's moving to fast, all I want to do is relax I don't want no heart attack, don't wanna work 'til I break my back no I don't wanna see no more construction, to me it looks more like destruction Just want to protect Her and all She's done, She has provided for everyone so Step lightly, you are trodding on sacred ground Step lightly, there is beauty to be found, look all around Step lightly, for you don't wanna leave a scar Step lightly, or for your children this will be no more The buildings just keep getting taller, open spaces dem a getting smaller They're building more universities, and destroying diversity But where will all the little animals run, to find shelter from the burning sun If we let them cut down all the trees, and spread their industrial disease Have they heard the ocean so deep, or witnessed the waterfalls weep Do you think that they could be so blind, to bring the end of humankind Yeah, oh yeah Oh Mama, Oh Mama Oh Mama, I see that You're bleeding Oh Mama, I feel Your pain in my soul Mama I will do my best to teach them Mama not to hurt You so I see them use You, see every day how they abuse You Oh Lord how they break You, see every day how they rape You Step lightly, you are trodding on sacred ground Step lightly, there is beauty to be found, look all around Step lightly, for you don't wanna leave a scar Step lightly, or for your children this will be no more They're cutting down the forests, filling up the landfills Blackening the skyline, choking out the sun 'Til there's nothing left but garbage, steel, concrete and sorrow People this doesn't have to be our tomorrow If you listen closely, you will hear Her crying Do you even care that She is slowly dying We got to make a change now, if not for yourself then do it for your children Who can deny that things have been getting so strange around here And who can deny that it's been getting harder and harder and harder to breathe And who can deny that the species have been disappearing by the dozens, daily And who can deny that it's been getting hotter and colder and hotter and colder every year They're sucking the blood of the Earth They're scratching at the heart of Mama Earth They're fracturing the body of Mama Earth They're sucking the blood of the Earth And we all play a part in their plan We all play a part, overstand We all let them lead us by the hand And watch as they destroy our homeland, yeah yeah, our Motherland And who will stand up Oh who will stand with me and fight

Step Lightly /lyrics
Come gather 'round people, wherever you are,
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept that soon, you'll be dreched to the bone
If this whole world to you is worth saving
Then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
Cause the times they are a changing
I'm choking there's no air to breathe, all these chemicals are poisoning me
I feel like I ain't got no space, I got to get out of this place
Cause everybody's moving to fast, all I want to do is relax
I don't want no heart attack, don't wanna work 'til I break my back no
I don't wanna see no more construction, to me it looks more like destruction
Just want to protect Her and all She's done, She has provided for everyone so
Step lightly, you are trodding on sacred ground
Step lightly, there is beauty to be found, look all around
Step lightly, for you don't wanna leave a scar
Step lightly, or for your children this will be no more
The buildings just keep getting taller, open spaces dem a getting smaller
They're building more universities, and destroying diversity
But where will all the little animals run, to find shelter from the burning sun
If we let them cut down all the trees, and spread their industrial disease
Have they heard the ocean so deep, or witnessed the waterfalls weep
Do you think that they could be so blind, to bring the end of humankind
Yeah, oh yeah
Oh Mama, Oh Mama
Oh Mama, I see that You're bleeding
Oh Mama, I feel Your pain in my soul
Mama I will do my best to teach them
Mama not to hurt You so
I see them use You, see every day how they abuse You
Oh Lord how they break You, see every day how they rape You
Step lightly, you are trodding on sacred ground
Step lightly, there is beauty to be found, look all around
Step lightly, for you don't wanna leave a scar
Step lightly, or for your children this will be no more
They're cutting down the forests, filling up the landfills
Blackening the skyline, choking out the sun
'Til there's nothing left but garbage, steel, concrete and sorrow
People this doesn't have to be our tomorrow
If you listen closely, you will hear Her crying
Do you even care that She is slowly dying
We got to make a change now, if not for yourself then do it for your children
Who can deny that things have been getting so strange around here
And who can deny that it's been getting harder and harder and harder to breathe
And who can deny that the species have been disappearing by the dozens, daily
And who can deny that it's been getting hotter and colder and hotter and colder every year
They're sucking the blood of the Earth
They're scratching at the heart of Mama Earth
They're fracturing the body of Mama Earth
They're sucking the blood of the Earth
And we all play a part in their plan
We all play a part, overstand
We all let them lead us by the hand
And watch as they destroy our homeland, yeah yeah, our Motherland
And who will stand up
Oh who will stand with me and fight
31v
Sacred Ground ❤
🖤💙
