Even though people follow gold
Doesn't mean it shines in the dark
If we all do just what we're told
It doesn't mean you'll find the spark.
Friends can turn when things go wrong
It doesn't mean that it's their fault
We've all come here to help ourselves
All the goods laid in the vault
Some people open doors
Others tear their houses down
Some kids are prepared for wars
Others frightened of the crowd
Some streets come to an end
Others wind and know no bounds
And I'm just tryin' to pretend
I know how to tread on solid ground.
Solid ground, solid ground,
Solid ground, solid ground
Solid ground, solid ground.
Even though people follow orders
Doesn't mean it comes from the heart
Surrounded by a million borders
Till it's time for us to part
Moon can make the coming seas
Threaten every man on board
We find ourselves upon our knees
We have nothing but a shield and a sword
Some people break their bones
Others break their self esteem
Some dogs stray from their homes
Some people never wake from their dreams.
Some streets come to an end
Others wind and know no bounds
And I'm just tryin to pretend
I know how to tread on solid ground.
Solid ground, solid ground,
Solid ground, solid ground
Solid ground, solid ground.
Solid ground, solid ground,
Solid ground, solid ground
Solid ground, solid ground.
Solid.
