Solid Rock
Out here nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the coming of the light of day
You're talking 'bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace, well
You're standin' on solid rock
You're standing on sacred ground
You're living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Right down the line
Round about the dawn of time
When the dreaming all began
A crowd of people came
Well,they were looking for their promised land
We're runnin' from the heart of darkness
Searching for the heart of light
It was their paradise
But they were standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change were blowing cold that night
They were standing on the shore one day
Saw the white sails in the sun
Wasn't long before they felt the sting
White man, white law, white gun
Don't tell me that it's justified
'Cause somewhere someone lied
Someone lied, someone lied, someone lied
Genocide
And now you're standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
And living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the coming of the light of day
You're talking 'bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace, well
You're standin' on solid rock
You're standing on sacred ground
You're living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Right down the line
Round about the dawn of time
When the dreaming all began
A crowd of people came
Well,they were looking for their promised land
We're runnin' from the heart of darkness
Searching for the heart of light
It was their paradise
But they were standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change were blowing cold that night
They were standing on the shore one day
Saw the white sails in the sun
Wasn't long before they felt the sting
White man, white law, white gun
Don't tell me that it's justified
'Cause somewhere someone lied
Someone lied, someone lied, someone lied
Genocide
And now you're standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
And living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
