Out here
nothin' changes,
not in a hurry anyway
You feel
the endlessness
with the comin' of
the light of day
We're talkin' about
a chosen place
You wouldn't sell it
in a marketplace, well
Just a minute now
Standing on solid rock
Standing on
sacred ground
Living upon borrowed
time and the winds
of change are blowin'
down the line
Right down the line
Round about the
dawn of time when
dreamin' all began
A crowd of
people came
They were looking
for the promised land
Running from
the heart of darkness
Searching for
the heart of light
Well it was
their paradise
They were standin'
on solid rock
Standin' on
sacred ground
Living upon borrowed
time and the winds
of change were
blowing cold that night
Oh
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
'cos somewhere
someone lied
Yeah well
someone lied
Someone lied,
genocide
Well someone
lied, oh, yeah
And now you're
standing on solid rock
Standing on
sacred ground
Living upon borrowed
time and the winds
of change are blowin'
down the line
Solid rock
Standing on
sacred ground
Living upon borrowed
time and the winds
of change are blowing
down the line
Solid rock
Oh oh sacred ground
Living upon borrowed
time and the
winds of change are
blowing down the line
Oh oh oh
Oh oh
