I sing a song of sorrow and regret
A song of hope and faith and our deep respect
I see the light in you, boys and girls
Men and woman and babies too
I sing this sacred song thank you to you
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
To the sky and the sun and the ocean too
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
To the love that drains your hate
The warm positive that releases fate
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
Well, it's a troubled world where illnesses rage
Where the poor are sick, the sick can't engage
Where poverty breed violence and an ugly pulse
And there is even suffering in holy Taos!
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
To the sky and the sun and the ocean too
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
To the love that drains your hate
The warm positive that releases fate
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
Well, we've been through hell
The world bowed low
Insanity melted off my door
Lost my family, and true love too
I couldn't help myself, what could I do?
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
To the sky and the sun and the ocean too
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
To the love that drains your hate
The warm positive that releases fate
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
Well, there's beauty in the sorrow and in the pain
Used the phone book for God, didn't know the name
It's the answer within, I see it again
The sacred light of the holy gain
I sing this sacred song of thank you to you
