Solid Ground

Bobby Caldwell

Is there a place where the ground won’t move?

A carefully organized, single room

I’d search every corner, exposing my lies

So nothing is left as a nasty surprise

I will admit

As much as I would like to get it right I’m still mystified

And I will admit

Even with all I want to be I might just end up me

I’ve been here before I never thought I’d return

As if I had learned all I needed to learn

But what a beautiful surprise to find, that what is found is too big to be held

Saying once more there’s no solid ground

I will admit

As much as I would like to get it right I’m still mystified

And I will admit

Even with all I want to be I might just end up me

Why does the earth seem to fly without having to try?

Why does the sight of the mystery, move too fast to be seen?

And why is the moment I find what’s here, the moment it disappears?

So I sit down and stop; and look around and see,

What am I trying to be? If only it were me

I try not to try but tonight any more seems like less

And I feel the sky laughing as each mountain-top reveals the next

And I wish I could tell all that I wanted to say

And I wish I could just hold it all

Here in my arms and kiss it all today

I will admit

As much as I would like to get it right I’m still mystified

And I will admit

Even with all I want to be I might just end up me

I will admit

As much as I would like to get it right I’m still mystified

And I will admit

Even with all I want to be I might just end up me

I try not to try; I’m still mystified.
