A GOOD CHRISTIAN
RAISIN'
A FAMILY FOUNDATION
A MOM AND DAD
WHO TAUGHT US
RIGHT FROM
WRONG
EVEN THROUGH
THE HARD TIMES
WE STAYED CLOSE
TOGETHER
THAT'S THE
SOLID GROUND
THAT MADE
ME STRONG
BUT THERE WERE
PLACES
THAT I HAD
TO GO
AND THINGS
I HAD TO FIND
I WAS LOOKING FOR
THE ANSWERS
TO THE QUESTIONS
IN MY MIND
BUT ALL OF THE
ANSWERS
WOULD BE FOUND
ON SOLID GROUND
FOR AWHILE
I WANDERED AIMLESSLY
AND COULDN'T
SEE THE WAY
I HAD TO FIND
OUT ON MY OWN
BUT THE THINGS THAT
I WAS LOOKIN' FOR
WERE THINGS I
LEFT BEHIND
SOMETIMES WE
NEVER MISS IT
TILL IT'S GONE
THEN A BEACON
FROM A LIGHTHOUSE
LED ME SAFELY
TO THE SHORE
AND I DIDN'T
HAVE TO WORRY
OR BE TROUBLED
ANYMORE
I WAS FINALLY
COMIN' BACK
AROUND
ON SOLID GROUND
THE TRUTHS I LEARNED
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
HAVE STOOD THE
TEST OF TIME
ALL THE REST IS
SLOWLY WASHED
AWAY
I TRY TO TEACH
MY CHILDREN
THE BEST WAY
I KNOW HOW
AND HOPE THAT
THEY'RE ON
SOLID GROUND
TO STAY
AND THE LESSONS
I WAS TAUGHT
KEEP ON RINGIN'
IN MY EARS
SIMPLE WORDS
OF WISDOM
I'LL REMEMBER
THROUGH
THE YEARS
YES NOW MY FEET
ARE PLANTED SOUND
ON SOLID GROUND
YES NOW MY FEET
ARE FINALLY
PLANTED SOUND ON
SOLID GROUND
