Holy Ground

Terra Sagrada

Holy Ground

Um bom pedaço de poeira havia se acumulado nos bancosSend "Holy Ground" Ringtone to your Cell A good half-inch of dust had built up on the pews
Faltavam pedaços da pomba de vitralThere were pieces missing from the stained glass dove
Havia uma fechadura quebrada em uma das portas do porãoThere was a broken lock on one of the basement doors
Você podia abrir se empurrasse com força o suficienteYou could open if you pushed it hard enough
Era invernoIt was wintertime
As ruas estavam frias pra carambaThe streets were cold as hell
Eles estenderam seus sacos de dormirThey laid their sleeping bags
Ao longo do altarAlong the altar rail

Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground
Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground
Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground

Quando a notícia se espalhou, o santuário se encheuAs the word got out the sanctuary filled
Com pessoas que não tinham outro lugar pra chamar de larWith folks who had no other place to call their home
À noite, eles compartilhavam uma refeição e passavam uma garrafaAt night they'd share a meal and pass a bottle around
Algo que todos estavam acostumados a fazer sozinhosSomething they were all accustomed to alone
O piano estava desafinadoThe piano's out of tune
Algumas teclas nem funcionavamSome keys don't even work
Mas um cara conseguia tocar uma músicaBut one guy could play a song
Do livro de hinosOut of the hymnal book

Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground
Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground
Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground

O padre local logo soubeThe local priest soon got word
Dos vagabundos na igreja vaziaOf the vagrants in the empty church
Disseram a ele para ir à casa de DeusHe was told to go to the house of God
E expulsá-los porque, afinalAnd clear them out because after all
Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground

Ele foi recebido na porta por um homem de braços abertosHe was met at the door by a man with open arms
Dizendo "bem-vindo ao único lugar que pertencemos"Saying "welcome to the one place we belong"
Ele viu os pisos brilhantes sob os sacos de dormirHe saw the shiny floors beneath the sleeping bags
Ele podia ouvir o som de risadas pelo corredorHe could hear the sound of laughter down the hall
Mais tarde naquela noiteLater on that night
Enquanto partiam o pãoAs they broke the bread
Ele perguntou se havia espaçoHe asked them if there's room
Para uma cama extraFor an extra bed

Porque era terra sagrada'cause it was holy ground
Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground
Era terra sagradaIt was holy ground
