The land is holy where they fought
And holy where they fell;
For by their blood that land was bought,
The land they loved so well.

“Well what does make a place holy?” asked Alvin.
“Because that’s where the Red man talks to the land, and the land answers.”Orson Scott Card
Every bit of land is a holy land, and every drop of water is a holy water, and every single child is a son or a daughter of the one earth mama, and the one earth papa.
Michael Franti

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land is made for you and me.Woody Guthrie
