VERSE 1: (Tentative, protective, guarded hope) I've been here before, thought I had it right Gave my whole heart to people who couldn't see the light I built on quicksand, I built on lies Learned to pray before I trust my own two eyes But something's different when you walk in the room No red flags waving, no voice screaming "run" For the first time, I'm not holding my breath I think I'm finally learning what love's supposed to feel like CHORUS 1: (Not begging, but acknowledging the shift) 'Cause I'm standing on solid ground No more sinking, no more slipping down After all the wrongs, you feel so right I'm finally standing on solid ground tonight VERSE 2: (Growing certainty, recognition) I don't have to force it, don't have to fight You're not a project I'm trying to fix or make right No exhaustion, no games, no proving my worth Just two people who finally understand what we're worth Your hand in mine doesn't feel like a test Doesn't feel heavy, just feels like rest And I can breathe, I can be, I can sleep at night 'Cause for the first time, something finally feels right CHORUS 2: (Same as Chorus 1 (sung with more confidence) 'Cause I'm standing on solid ground No more sinking, no more slipping down After all the wrongs, you feel so right I'm finally standing on solid ground tonight BRIDGE: (Reflective, the hard lessons, God's timing) Every heart I gave away that didn't know what they had Every closed door, every wrong turn, every time I fell flat I was angry, I was broken, I was losing my faith But God was building something better than I could've prayed All those lessons, all that pain Led me right here in the pouring rain He was never late, just protecting what was mine His timing's always perfect, even when we're blind CHORUS 3: (Gratitude + certainty + relief) Now I'm standing on solid ground Built on faith and honest hearts After all the wrongs, you're finally right Thank God I'm standing on solid ground Yeah, I'm standing on solid ground tonight
