about

Based on a true story and inspired by Haley Manochi and Kelly Looking Horse.

lyrics

I grew up in the church, the house made for God.
I prayed and felt nothing, thought it was my fault.
I waited for answers, but did not hear a sound,
I was afraid God didn’t want to be found.

When I was fourteen I strayed from the fold,
Got lost in the Badlands, day and night in the cold.
A medicine woman came to me in a dream
I swear, I was awake when she said to me:

The land is a prayer and church is the sky,
An open cathedral, a natural choir,
The wind in my face, the twilight at dusk,
The earth is the house God made for us.

I jumped to my feet, I gave thanks to the skies, and
Thanks to the ground where I slept, to the tears in my eyes.
In one holy moment, I saw everything new.
And said, "There you are God, I've been looking for you"

The land is a prayer and church is the sky,
An open cathedral, a natural choir,
The wind in my face, the twilight at dusk,
The earth is the house God made for us.

Back in the city, my troubled mind is calm.
God must have been here in my heart all along
And in colors of nature from heaven’s own brush
In the house made for us.

The land is a prayer and church is the sky,
An open cathedral, a natural choir,
The wind in my face, the twilight at dusk,
The earth is the house God made for us.
