Solid Rock
Out here nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light of day
You're talkin' 'bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace, well
Well, just a minute now
You're standin' on solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Right down the line
Well round about the dawn of time
The dreamin' all began
A crowd of people came
Well, they were lookin' for their promised land
We're runnin' from the heart of darkness
Searchin' for the heart of light
With their paradise
Well, they were standin' on solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowin' cold that night
Someone lied
Genocide
Well, they were standin' 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
And now you're standin' on solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
No!
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light of day
You're talkin' 'bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace, well
Well, just a minute now
You're standin' on solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Right down the line
Well round about the dawn of time
The dreamin' all began
A crowd of people came
Well, they were lookin' for their promised land
We're runnin' from the heart of darkness
Searchin' for the heart of light
With their paradise
Well, they were standin' on solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowin' cold that night
Someone lied
Genocide
Well, they were standin' 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
And now you're standin' on solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
No!
