Hallowed Ground Lyrics

Chorus:

We're gathered here on hallowed ground
With voices raised, heads bowed down
We're gathered here on hallowed ground
To sing this soul away

I was walking down on Thompson Street
Saw a battered soul, no food to eat
With shakin' hand for me to greet
Said 'I knew you one day'

Said 'I was once a different man
Strong of voice, firm of hand
But even gifts the Angels plan
The time can waste away
Waste away'

Chorus

I realized he'd been my friend
All those years I'd spent with himThe Brandos - Hallowed Ground - http://motolyrics.com/the-brandos/hallowed-ground-lyrics.html
The light of recognition dims
The years pulled us away

Said "I had dreams like anyone
Worked so hard, prayed they come
But, I'm a man like anyone
And she walked away,
She walked away"

Chorus

Walking down on Thompson street
Looking for my friend to meet
I saw a black cart in the street
Carryin' him away

I followed to the edge of town
Watched them lay his body down
Said a prayer and turned around
And slowly walked away,
I walked away
