Lyrics:

Janis Ian
Breaking silence
Walking on sacred ground
I once was much like you
Had a nine to five and a mortgage due
That rat race got to me
First it ate me up, then it set me free
One day it buried me alive
I snapped and almost lost my mind
I crawled out just in time, to go
Walking - walking - walking
Walking on sacred ground
Walking - walking - walking
Walking on sacred ground
At first I lost my way
But I stumbled on until one day
I came across a stone
With the name of every soul I'd known
I edged around it carefully
'til it became a memory
That set my spirit free, to go
Chorus
Mmm, we're all afraid of going under
Honey, is it really any wonder?
Caught between the silence and the thunder
I once was 'much like you
Always a lot to do
I ran so hard to stay in place
The wind took on a bitter taste
Now I don't run that race. I go
Chorus
