Solid Ground

A good Christian raising
 A family foundation
 Mom and dad who taught us
 Right from wrong
 Even through the hard times
 We stayed close together
 That's the solid ground
 That made me strong
 But there were places that I had to go
 And things I had to find
 I was looking for the answers
 To the questions in my mind
 But all of the answers would be found
 On solid ground
 For a while I wandered aimlessly
 And couldn't see the way
 I had to find out
 On my own
 That the things that I was looking for
 Were things I left behind
 Sometimes you never miss it
 Till it's gone
 Then a beacon from a lighthouse
 Led me safely to the shore
 And I didn't have to worry
 Or be troubled anymore
 I was finally coming back around
 On solid ground
 The truths I learned
 When I was young
 Have stood the test of time
 All the rest have slowly washed away
 I try to teach my children
 The best way I know how
 And hope that they're
 On solid ground to stay
 And the lessons I was taught
 Keep on ringing in my ears
 Simple words of wisdom
 I'll remember through the years
 Yes, now my feet are planted sound
 On solid ground
 Yes, now my feet are finally planted sound
 On solid ground
