Out here nothin' changes, not in a hurry anyway You feel the endlessness with the comin' of the light o' day We're talkin' about a chosen place You wouldn't sell it in a marketplace, well Well just a minute now
Standing on solid rock Standing on sacred ground Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime And the winds of change are blowin' down the line Right down the line
Round about the dawn o' time, When dreamin' all began A croud o' people came Well they were looking for their promised land Were running from the heart of darkness Searching for the heart o' light Well it was their paradise
But they were standin' on - solid rock Standing o-on sacred grou-ound Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime And the winds of change were blowing cold that night Oh
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, ahh
And now you're standing on - solid rock Standing o-on a sacred grou-ound Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime And the winds of change are blowin' down the li-ine
Solid rock, Standing on sacred ground Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime And the winds of change are blowing down the line Solid rock, Standing o-on sacred grou-ound Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime And the winds of change are blowing down the line Oh-oh-oh no, NO-O
