Prince
Holy Ground
Give a little this
Give a little that
(Intro: Tamar speaking in French...)

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy Name
Somebody told me
You protect me
From anything in my way
This yellow-brick road, yeah
Ain't easy walking
The streets ain't paved with gold
Every time I listen to a fake gangsta talking
They take another piece of my soul

How do I know just where I'm going?
How do I keep my head?
Who do I call on to fight my battles?
And bring me back from the dead?

And they never try to stop me
Who's gonna be my friend?
And answer the age-old question
Who took the 'i' in singing?

I know you are there
Father, let me know
I know you care which way I go
Take my hand, Father
Lead the way
I'm ready to do anything you say
So
Give me those boots I need for walking
No matter how hard the road
Give me those words I need for talking
The power gives me soul
Give me those tools I need for building
The houses won't fall down
Give a little this
Give a little that
Holy ground

Every single day just
Leaves me in a wastehole
I can stay away from
Negatives that come my way
I won't let it get the best of me
When somebody tries to
Shut you down and blind you
Deceive and lie to
Get you to do the wrong they do
Don't let it get the best of you

When the days get down some fears
Give us a sign that you are near
And no matter what comes
We'll keep the faith
Take my hand and lead the way
So
Give me those boots I need for walking
No matter how hard the road
Give me those words I need for talking
The power gives me soul
Give me those tools I need for building
The houses won't fall down
Give a little this
Give a little that
Holy ground

Give me those boots I need for walking
No matter how hard the road
Give me those words I need for talking
The power gives me soul
Give me those tools I need for building
The houses won't fall down
Give a little this
Give a little that
Holy ground

Give me those boots I need for walking
No matter how hard the road
Give me those words I need for talking
The power gives me soul
Give me those tools I need for building
The houses won't fall down
Give a little this
Give a little that
Holy ground
(Tamar speaking in French...)
Let me know you are there
.......
Let me know that you care
.......
Take my hand, lead the way
.......

Give me those boots I need for walking
Give me those words I need for talking
Give me those tools I need for fielding
Give a little this
Give a little that

Holy ground
Holy ground
Oh

Every single day just
Leaves me in a wastehole
I can stay away from
Negatives that come my way
It's like this
Give a little this
Give a little that
Holy ground
