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
