Solid Ground

[Intro]
[Verse]
The keys turned slow in the lock today
The pink slip sat where the mail would lay
I checked the balance on my phone
Wondering how to keep this home
My daughter’s sleeping in the room
While I’m dancing with the gloom
I felt the walls start closing in
Wondering where to even begin
[Pre-Chorus]
But then a whisper caught my ear
A melody to drown the fear
It wasn't loud, it wasn't grand
Just a steady, invisible hand
I felt a spark inside the dark
A quiet light, a tiny mark
[Chorus]
Oh, I feel the shift, I feel the fire
Lifting me up, higher and higher
From the valley to the mountain peak
Finding the strength when I was weak
It’s a miracle in every breath
Love is life and there is no death
To the hope that I finally found
I’m standing on solid ground
[Post-Chorus]
(Solid ground!)
Oh, I’m standing
(Solid ground!)
Yeah, I’m landing
On the promise that I found
[Verse]
The landlord called with a heavy tone
I spent the night on my knees alone
Then a neighbor knocked with a bag of bread
"I had extra," was all she said
Small wonders in a paper sack
Telling me there’s no turning back
I saw the dust dance in the sun
Knowing the battle was already won
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the light hit the kitchen floor
I don't have to worry anymore
The rhythm’s moving in my chest
I’m putting all my doubts to rest
I feel the grace, I see the way
Leading me to a brighter day
[Chorus]
Oh, I feel the shift, I feel the fire
Lifting me up, higher and higher
From the valley to the mountain peak
Finding the strength when I was weak
It’s a miracle in every breath
Love is life and there is no death
To the hope that I finally found
I’m standing on solid ground
[Bridge]
It’s not about the gold or the silver
It’s the peace that the spirit delivers
I was lost in the cold and the rain
Now I’m washing away all the pain
Sing it out! (Choir joins)
Hallelujah in the everyday!
I’m gonna be okay!
I’ve got the grit, I’ve got the soul
I’m finally feeling whole
[Hook]
I’ve got that resilience
(Choir: Resilience!)
I’ve got that brilliance
(Choir: Brilliance!)
I’m walking, I’m talking
I’m living in the light!
(Choir: In the light!)
Every day and every night!
[Chorus]
Oh, I feel the shift, I feel the fire
Lifting me up, higher and higher
From the valley to the mountain peak
Finding the strength when I was weak
It’s a miracle in every breath
Love is life and there is no death
To the hope that I finally found
I’m standing on solid ground
[Post-Chorus]
(Solid ground!)
I'm standing high
(Solid ground!)
Looking at the sky
I’m standing on solid ground
[Outro]
