Lyrics

On a highway overpass
Just north of Santa Fe
The mural reads
Tierra Sagrada
There the words, sacred earth,
Are etched in tiled clay
It makes me smile every time
I pass beneath it

I head back north
And cross the line
Back to the vast
Of Colorado
There to the East
The Sangres greet the sky

It makes me smile every time
I see the sun lit on those
Mountains

Chorus
Somehow I broke free
And stepped into the Big Empty
Somehow I broke down those
walls
It's all out there
And it's all in here
It's all around
I finally found

A few years ago
Maybe a thousand
In a bleak maze of
Windowless halls

At the end of the day
I'd catch the last colored rays
The mural in the sky
Read Tierra Sagrada

Chorus
Somehow I broke free
And stepped into
The Big Empty
Somehow I broke down
Those walls
It's all out there
And it's all in here
It's all around
I finally found

On an endless dirt road
Just north of Alamosa
I step outside
And all I see
Is a view of the heavens
Under all of these pines
It makes me smile
Every time I stand beneath it

Oh, It makes me smile
Every time I look around
Oh, it makes me smile that
I finally found
Tierra Sagrada

Oooh.....
