How does it feel when it's quiet and calm? And will I be denied? How will it feel when it's time to move on? Mother says kneel and pray When it gets hard, I will roll those sleeves Life can be so unkind I will be found on the edge of the world Where there'll be no one around Oh, solid ground Solid ground Solid ground Solid ground How does it feel to be on your own? No one to understand I know I'm here and I don't belong I'm on my knees today When it gets dark, I will know no fear Life can be so unkind Hanging around on the edge of the world Finally no one around Oh, would you help me? I don't understand Is it over? Am I losing solid ground? Solid ground Solid ground Solid ground Solid ground Solid ground Solid ground Solid ground Solid ground

I just heard this song on the late late show with James Corden. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE been so moved by a piece that I felt chills and had goosebumps. This song... My god. It's so beautiful. Thank you. You gave me that experience. I'm sitting here on my couch with tears just freely streaming down my face and such a deep feeling of appreciation, I don't really know what to do with myself. You're absolutely amazing. Such a simple melody, Such little involvement with the left hand-- after four years of studying the piano and being unable to do complicated things.. THIS is a song I can learn to play. A beautiful, moving masterpiece. And I can learn it. Music means so much to me. Thank you so much, just for existing. Producing something so wonderful is just an added bonus.
