Solid Rock - Amanda Palmer

Out here nothin' changes

Not in a hurry anyway

You can feel the endlessness

With the comin' of the light o' day

You’re talkin' 'bout a chosen place

You wanna sell it in a marketplace

Well

Well just a minute now

You’re standin' on solid rock

Standin' on sacred ground

Livin' on borrowed time

And the winds of change

Are blowin' down the line

Right down the line

Well round about the dawn of time

The Dreaming all began

A crowd of people came

Well they were lookin' for their promised land

We’re runnin' from the heart of darkness

Searchin' for the heart of light

It was their paradise

Well they were standin' on solid rock

Standin' on sacred ground

Livin' on borrowed time

And the winds of change

Were blowin' cold that night

Well 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

Cause somewhere someone lied

Yeah, well someone lied

Someone lied

Genocide

Well someone lied oh

And now you’re standin' on solid rock

Standin' on sacred ground

Livin' on borrowed time

And the winds of change

Are blowin' down the line

Solid rock

Standin' on sacred ground

Livin' on borrowed time

And the winds of change

Are blowin' down the line

Solid rock

Standin' on sacred ground

Livin' on borrowed time

And the winds of change

Are blowin' down the line

No, oh!

Oh no!
