Solid Ground

Sometimes I lie to myself

'cause I don't want to make a change.

What a selfish man I am

to gamble without restraint.

I want my children walking on solid ground.

How can I burn a thousand miles

and preach in the same breath?

I'm a hypocrite at heart

and a murder at best.

I want my children walking on solid ground.

I cry for help, can someone listen tonight?

Can no one feel this pain?

Why don't we even try?

I want my children walking on solid ground.

I try to carbonate the truth,

it will be our children's blues.

Not all that glitters is gold,

when it's their future they will lose.

I want my children walking on solid ground.

I cry for help, can someone listen tonight?

Can no one feel this pain?

Why don't we even try?

I want my children walking on solid ground.

Solid ground.
