Lyrics
“Holy Creation”
So many answers
So many reasons
Most of them wrong
Facing the future
With the faith of my father
I let a stranger
Into my home
And right there before me
I saw it happen
There’s no denying
Nothing’s the same
The truth is a highway
Leading to freedom
All is forgiven
Love is to blame
And I’ve seen him hold her
With his head on her shoulder
Singing her love songs
Soft as her smile
Tender affection
Under the rainbow
Holy Creation
Mother and child
I know the story
I read the papers
I see the anger
I feel it too
But when I see the wonder
In the smiles of my children
It reminds me of dreams
Worth coming true
And I’ve seen him hold her
With his head on her shoulder
Singing her love songs
Soft as her smile
Tender affection
Under the rainbow
Holy Creation
Mother and child
