In sacred places,
Places of power,
Temples were built
On mountains, where once there had been
A communion with God
Once, a song was heard that was glorious and haunting
Once, a voice had called out from a high place
Once, the people came and glimpsed God
In the beautiful things, and in nature
There, the people joined together
With the spirit and
Built the beautiful houses for the One
Who needs no home
