C Dm
A good Christian raising, a family foundation
F C
Mom & Dad who taught us right from wrong
C Dm
Even through the hard times we stayed close together
F C
That's the Solid Ground that made me strong
Am F
But there were places that I had to go and things I had to find
Am F
I was looking for the answers to the questions in my mind
Dm F C
But all of the answers would be found on Solid Ground
C Dm
For awhile I wandered aimlessly & couldn't see the way
F C
I had to find out on my own
C Dm
That the things that I was looking for were things I left behind
F C
Sometimes you never miss it till it's gone
Am F
Then a beacon from the lighthouse led me safely to the shore
Am F
And I didn't have to worry or be troubled anymore
Dm F C
I was finally coming back a round to Solid Ground
C Dm
The truths I learned when I was young have stood the test of time
F C
All the rest is slowly washed away
C Dm
I try to teach my children the best way I know how
F C
And hope that they're on Solid Ground to stay
Am F
And the lessons I was taught keep on ringing in my ears
Am F
Simple words of wisdom I'll remember through the years
Dm F C
Yes now my feet are planted sound on Solid Ground
Dm F C
Yes now my feet are finally planted sound on Solid Ground
