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
