Do you know how much you’re really loved?
Have you learned how to believe?
Is your heart alive or getting old?
You can only give what you receive

You are the salt of the earth

Don’t you know that we’re the chosen ones?
We’ve been grafted into the vine
But sometimes we become the pious ones
We forget where we’ve come from

You are the salt of the earth
You are the salt of the earth
Wherever you go, (wherever you go)
Whenever you compromise
You gotta know, (you gotta know) the body is broken

You are the salt of the earth

Don’t you know that we’re the chosen ones?
We’ve been grafted into the vine
But sometimes we become the pious ones
We forget where we’ve come from

You are the salt of the earth
You are the salt of the earth
Wherever you go, (wherever you go)
Whenever you compromise
You gotta know, (you gotta know) the body is broken

Wherever you go, (wherever you go)
Whenever you compromise
You gotta know, (you gotta know) the body is broken

You are the salt of the earth
You are the salt of the earth
