Lyrics

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 holy bread 
And everyone would kneel and bow 
Today the only difference is 
Everything is holy now 
Everything, everything 
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 water was 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 used to be a world half there 
Heaven’s 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 
Heaven’s second rate hand-me-down 
But I walk it with a reverent air 
‘Cause everything is holy now
