"Solid Rock (Live)" lyrics
(originally by Goanna)
Out here nothin' changes, not in a hurry anyway
You feel the endlessness, comin' of the light o' day
We're talkin' 'bout a chosen place
You wouldn't 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
Round about the dawn of time
The dreamin' all began
The crowd of people came
They were lookin' for their promised land
We're runnin' from the heart o' darkness
Searchin' for the heart o' light
But it was their paradise
You're standin' on solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowing cold that night
No!
They were standin' on the shore one day
They saw the white sails in the sun
It 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
Yeah, someone lied
Someone lied, oh
Someone lied
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
The solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
The solid rock
Sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
No!
You feel the endlessness, comin' of the light o' day
We're talkin' 'bout a chosen place
You wouldn't 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
Round about the dawn of time
The dreamin' all began
The crowd of people came
They were lookin' for their promised land
We're runnin' from the heart o' darkness
Searchin' for the heart o' light
But it was their paradise
You're standin' on solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowing cold that night
No!
They were standin' on the shore one day
They saw the white sails in the sun
It 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
Yeah, someone lied
Someone lied, oh
Someone lied
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
The solid rock
You're standin' on sacred ground
You're livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
The solid rock
Sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
No!
