Uncut Pages - Solid Ground Lyrics

The rush and rattle, the waters retreat
This obsolete map's no good to me
This shifting shape, this changing land
Loved landmarks gone, impermanent

This ground has never felt so insecure
I can't stay upright on this shaking floor

Cast my message to the tides
My life packed small, curled up tight
Unwanted flotsam, helpless seed
Fickle waters carry me

This ground has never felt so insecure
I can't stay upright on this shaking floor
I need to find some solid ground
I need to find

The world is cold, the water wide
Bear me to the other side
I need to... I need to find

The water's clawing is almost spent
Time works its discouragement
Chart the rise and the descent
As sure as time the tide will turn again

The world is cold, the water's wide
The world is cold, the water's wide
The world is cold, the water's wide
The world is cold, the water's wide
Bear me to the other side
I need to... I need to find
