A-Ha is a Norwegian new wave band that was most popular in the UK and the USA during the 1980s, but continued to be globally successful in the 1990s and 2000s. The trio, composed of lead vocalist Morten Harket, guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoyand keyboardist Magne Furuholmen, formed in 1983 and left Norwayfor London in order to make a career in the music business. The origin of the name a-ha comes from the lyric of an early song. After checking dictionaries in several languages, they found out that 'a-ha' was an international way of expressing recognition, with positive connotations. It was short, a-ha was easy to say and somewhat unusual.

Holy Ground Lyrics
A-Ha
Words by Morten Harket, Nick Whitecross, Ole Sverre Olsen
Music by Morten Harket
Take your pride
and lift it high
I've come to say goodbye
You've got your live
And I've got mine
Sometimes hard to draw that line
I like to walk
And my way is my own
You taught me how
Don't you know
And there must be
some place to meet
I take off my shoes
I'll walk bare-foot when I do
Standing there in front of you
I want to honest
I want to be true
I like to walk
And my way is my own
You taught me how
Don't you know what we found
Brother maybe
We're on holy ground
Take your pride
and lift it high
I must leave without you
Good advice I grow stronger
Where the mountains rise
Standing there in front of you
I want to honest
I want to be true
In front of you
