When I was a boy each week on Sunday
We would go to church and pay attention to
The priest, he would read the
Holy word, and consecrate the holly bread
And everyone would kneel and bow
Today the only difference is
Everything is holy now
Bm. A
Everything is holy now
When I was in Sunday school
We would learn about the time
Moses split the sea in two
Jesus made the water wine
And I remember feeling sad
That miracles don't happen still
But now I can't keep track
Cause everything's a miracle
Everything, everything
Everything's a miracle
Wine from water is not so small
But an even better magic trick
Is that anything is here at all
So the challenging thing becomes
Not to look for miracles
But finding where there isn't one
When holy waters rare at best
It barely wet my fingertips
But now I have to hold my breath
Like I'm swimming in a sea of it
It use to be a world half there
Heavens second rate hand me down
But I walk it with a reverent air
Cause everything is holy now
Everything, everything
Everything is holy now
Read a questioning child's face
And say it's not a testament
That'd be very hard to say
See another new morning come
And say it's not a sacrament
I tell you that it can't be done
This morning, outside I stood
And saw a little red winged bird
Shining like a burning bush
Singing like a scripture verse
It made me want to bow my head
I remember when church let out
How things have changed since then
Everything is holy now
It used to be a world half there
Heavens second rate hand me down
But I walk it with a reverent air
Cause everything is holy now
Everything, everything
Everything is holy now
