Solid Ground

you slow for a second for me to catch up your back the only vision I see your stride was always larger than mine you're on the move heading away from me you found me once when I was lost I laid it down in the sinking ground in this ocean in which I flail caught up in this hopeless undertow each day a little bit longer than the last each way a little bit stronger than the past all of your light found my soul in the night I stay in this fight earning second life as a hallelujah rips through my veins the hammer drops, as I shoot without aiming missing the mark and a chance that I saw all is lost, there is nothing left to gain you found me once when I was lost I laid it down in the sinking ground in this ocean in which I flail caught up in this hopeless undertow I won't turn back and won't back down although it all lies in hallowed ground it doesn't matter what comes crashing down I am gonna stand on this solid ground
