John Anderson Solid Ground Lyrics

Solid Ground Lyrics

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
