Holy Road

Holy Road - Dan Fogelberg

Written by：D. Fogelberg

Last night I dreamed I was looking down

On the planet earth spinning 'round and 'round

And as I cast my gaze about

I watched her lovely light go out

The light went out

And floating in the black of space

I was looking into God's own face

And in his hand he held this tiny earth

He said well ain't it a shame what they've done to her

After I'd shown them to the holy road the holy road

After I'd shown them to the holy road the holy road

Well I laid a bounty in their hands

And only gave them ten commands

But they never learned their lessons very well

And they drove my garden straight to hell

That's when they fell off of the holy road the holy road

That's when they fell off of the holy road the holy road

Let me tell you

Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools

And your presidents only dupes and tools

And the money makers and the chiefs of staff

Who worshipped of that golden calf

They turned their backs upon the holy road the holy road

They turned their backs upon the holy road the holy road

And then I told him

Well you made the sun and you made the sky

The things that crawl and the things that fly

And then you made the human race

And he said well everybody makes mistakes

I thought they'd want to walk the holy road the holy road

I thought they'd want to walk the holy road the holy road

And even though it was just a dream

It seemed as real as it could seem

And often dreams the truth forebodes

You got to get back children on the holy road

Get back children on the holy road

Get back children on the holy road

Get back children on the holy road

Holy road the holy road

Gotta get back on the holy road the holy road

Gotta get back on the holy road the holy road

Gotta get back on the holy road the holy road

On the holy road on the holy road

On the holy road people on the holy road

On the holy road now the holy road

On the holy road children on the holy road

Holy holy holy road

Holy holy holy road

Holy holy holy road

Holy holy holy road

Holy holy holy road

Holy holy holy road
