Lyrics
Tell me how this world
is like a cathedral
is like a cathedral
like a cathedral
Tell me how this world
is like a cathedral
And it will show you
how to pray
Mountains rise so high
to protect us all
Birds fly like angels
to keep 'em from a fall
Bright light shines
through a big blue sky
The sun rises every morn'
makes us want to try
Tell me why this world
is not a cathedral
not a cathedral
not a cathedral
Tell me why this world
is not a cathedral
When you may have
lost your way
Stone walls built by man
block out the sky
Stained glass is beautiful
but makes me want to cry
Roof makes us safe
but covers the sun
Aisles are wide and pretty
but there I cannot run
Tell me how this world
is like a cathedral
is like a cathedral
like a cathedral
Tell me how this world
is like a cathedral
And it will show you
how to pray
Holy water runs so clear
down the waterfall
Seedling grows to a tree
standing straight and tall
Stars at night shine beautiful
like some kind of art
And a warm breeze from the South
you know it fills my heart
Tell me how this world
is like a cathedral
is like a cathedral
like a cathedral
Tell me how this world
is like a cathedral
And it will show you
how to pray
and you may have found your way
and you will have found your way
