[Verse 1]
You were carved from breath and dust
More than markets
More than lust
They will wave their paper crowns
Try to buy what can't be found
Little sister
Lift your eyes
You are worth the sunrise skies
Not a bargain
Not for sale
You are story
Not a scale
[Chorus]
Guard the gate
Your heart
Your body
Soul and faith
You are holy
More than gold they pay
Daughter
Turn from every empty stage
Guard the gate
Keep it sacred
Keep it safe
You are holy
Let them walk away
You are holy
Holy
Guard the gate
[Verse 2]
They will call it simple fun
But their hunger never's done
Leave you counting crumpled bills
While your spirit echoes still
You are altar
You are flame
Not a product
Not a game
Cover what is meant for love
Hold it like a treasure dove
[Chorus]
Guard the gate
Your heart
Your body
Soul and faith
You are holy
More than gold they pay
Daughter
Turn from every empty stage
Guard the gate
Keep it sacred
Keep it safe
You are holy
Let them walk away
You are holy
Holy
Guard the gate
[Bridge]
Every scar
Every shame
Can be washed
Can be changed
You can step out of that trance
You can choose a different dance (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Guard the gate
Your heart
Your body
Soul and faith
You are holy
More than gold they pay
Daughter
Turn from every empty stage
Guard the gate
Keep it sacred
Keep it safe
You are holy
Let them walk away
You are holy
Holy
Guard the gate
