Solid Ground

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
