Solid Ground
Rising from Scars: Kasey Williams' Empowering Solid Ground
Lyrics
It was my strength that left me weak
Experiencing weakness because of losing personal strength.
Opened up my arms with no defense, let him in for free
Opened up without defense, allowing someone to enter freely.
Then I let him swallow me
Allowing oneself to be consumed or overwhelmed by another person.
It wasn't love that made me blind
Realizing that it wasn't love that blinded the person.
I saw his pain beneath the signs
Seeing the pain hidden beneath outward signs.
So I made excuses for the bruises he planted in my mind
Making excuses for emotional wounds inflicted by the other person.
My heart is wrapped in scars
Emotionally scarred heart.
But I refuse to live life afraid of love
Refusing to live life in fear of love.
I refuse to let my jaded heart just give up
Refusing to let a cynical heart give up on love.
I won't put that power in his hands
Not relinquishing control and power to the other person.
First time should've been the last
Regretting that the first negative experience wasn't the last.
I feel I'm to blame for that
Feeling responsible or blaming oneself for the repeated negative experiences.
So I'm convinced when someone promises
Expressing skepticism or doubt when someone makes promises.
Where's the shame in that?
Questioning the shame associated with skepticism or doubt.
My heart is wrapped in scars
Heart still bears emotional scars.
But I refuse to live life afraid of love
Continuing to resist living in fear of love.
I refuse to let my jaded heart just give up
Persisting in not letting a cynical heart give up on love.
I won't put that power in his hands
Not surrendering the power of love to another person.
I refuse to live life afraid of love
Remaining resolute in not living in fear of love.
I refuse to let my jaded heart just give up
Continuing to resist letting a jaded heart give up on love.
I won't put that power in his hands
Maintaining control and not giving the power of love to someone else.
I will pick myself up
Determined to pick oneself up after challenges.
I'll gather all the pieces I gave up
Collecting and reclaiming the pieces of oneself that were given up.
Put ‘em back together ‘till I stand up on solid ground again
Rebuilding and standing on solid ground again.
Oh till I stand up on solid ground again
Expressing the desire to stand on solid ground once more.
Till I stand up on solid ground again
Reiterating the determination to stand on solid ground again.
