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 on borrowed time
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 crowd 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 on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change were blowing cold that night
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 on a sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowin' down the line
Solid rock, Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Solid rock, Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Oh-oh-oh no, NO-O
