Solid Ground Lyrics - John Anderson

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
