"No Stranger To The Ground" by Chad Mackey

CHORUS:
I've seen sunny days
And hard rain falling down
I've met cloud nine
But I'm no stranger to the ground

I remember back to when I was four
Big brother and I playing on the back porch
It seemed we did not have a care
And I remember back to when I was nine
All I wanted was to pass some time
And now I'm afraid that I'm already there
And along the way...

CHORUS:

You don't know the places I've been
Other than the places of my skin
I think that I've been everywhere
I use to want to become an astronaut
That was before I learned to rock
I knew the moon was far, but I didn't care
I guess that's the way that kids just are
They seem to know just who they are
At least until they reach that certain age
And life is funny how things work out
Never can know what will turn out
At least not until you turn the page

CHORUS:

Family's been with me every step of the way
And my God remains beside me just to give me strength
And my love belongs to a girl
That is all I need to keep me safe in this world

CHORUS: 2x
