"Solid Ground (Meet Me There)" lyrics
The Flamingos, Lisa Marie Simmons & Marco Cremaschini Lyrics
(feat. Vernon Reid)
Walk with me, let's face our history
Come on, walk with me, let's lay it down to rest
Bridge the gap, bring that heavy drawbridge down
Love — it's the only solid ground
The only solid ground
We say, it's a dream come true
It can come true
Don't you know time has come
My cherished one
The time has come
You don't, you don't need that gun
Take my hand
Let's leave this frontier town
Love, love – the only solid ground
Love is the only solid ground
The only solid ground
Love is the only solid ground
We say, it's a dream come true
It can come true
I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
Ask the dawn to hide her rays
I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
Still, I sing it anyway
Can we
Can we erase
Can we erase the lines we once drew
Black, white, red, blue
Design something wider, something true
Words we've carelessly tossed - reclaimed
Yes
The only solid ground
Listen
Ghosts hum hymns in the hush
But no more years
Feeding your old fears
Meet me
The ground is shifting
Meet me
There's a stepping stone
Stretch towards a turn of the page
The only solid ground
Love is the only solid ground
The only solid ground
Love is the only solid ground
We say, a dream come true
It can come true
I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
Ask the sun to hide its rays
You know that I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
Still, I sing it anyway
Take my hand
Dream come true (Listen)
What the world needs now is love sweet love
It's the kind of love that comes from above
And it's got you feeling, got you reeling
Something happens inside
Oh it's love sweet love, it's the kind of love
That you really shouldn't hide
The word is the word, the word is love
Oh yeah
I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
Ask the dawn to hide her rays
Come on, walk with me, let's lay it down to rest
Bridge the gap, bring that heavy drawbridge down
Love — it's the only solid ground
The only solid ground
We say, it's a dream come true
It can come true
Don't you know time has come
My cherished one
The time has come
You don't, you don't need that gun
Take my hand
Let's leave this frontier town
Love, love – the only solid ground
Love is the only solid ground
The only solid ground
Love is the only solid ground
We say, it's a dream come true
It can come true
I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
Ask the dawn to hide her rays
I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
Still, I sing it anyway
Can we
Can we erase
Can we erase the lines we once drew
Black, white, red, blue
Design something wider, something true
Words we've carelessly tossed - reclaimed
Yes
The only solid ground
Listen
Ghosts hum hymns in the hush
But no more years
Feeding your old fears
Meet me
The ground is shifting
Meet me
There's a stepping stone
Stretch towards a turn of the page
The only solid ground
Love is the only solid ground
The only solid ground
Love is the only solid ground
We say, a dream come true
It can come true
I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
Ask the sun to hide its rays
You know that I might as well teach the tide to stay
Tell the moon to light the day
Make the wind to quit, tell the trees to roam
