Solid Ground

I'm not afraid
Not in doubt
But I'm getting close

I'm on the edge
Looking down to see
If I dare to take the chance

Wandering till nightfall
Counting steps
Letting my feet carry
The weight for me

Pulling it away
Wide awake
Lighting up the day to change
And carry on

Pushing it away
For my own sake
Finding a new way to stand
On solid ground
Safe and sound

There's much to say
Can't find the words
But I am reaching out

Always on guard
It drains my energy
It makes it hard to breathe

Wandering till nightfall
Counting steps
Letting my feet carry
The weight for me

Pulling it away
Wide awake
Lighting up the day to change
And carry on
Pushing it away
For my own sake
Finding a new way to stand
On solid ground

How I used to grow
Feels like a lifetime ago
Call it evolving, call it fate
How to hold on to something
That belongs in another time
Call it headstrong, call it resolute
It's what I do

Pulling it away
Wide awake
Lighting up the day to change
And carry on
Pushing it away
For my own sake
Finding a new way to stand
On solid ground
Safe and sound
