The Foundation
I was actually watching the show on Apple TV The Foundation. (Awesome show, it’s where Spielberg got the idea of Star Wars from) I wrote this.
The Foundation
Verse 1]
Momma set that first stone down
Laid it deep in my hometown
Sunday mornings, old church pews
Learning right from wrong, lies from truth
Dad preached from the Book
Could set you down with just one look
Momma still lives those words today
She’s the rock that paved my way
[Pre-Chorus]
Years rolled by and I got lost
What I learned came at a cost
[Chorus]
I’m not standing where I’ve been
But I’m stronger than the wreckage says I am
The storm may have knocked me down
But my roots run deep in this ground
No second guessin’, no hesitation
I owe it all to the foundation
[Post-Chorus]
(Owe it all…)
(Owe it all…)
To the foundation
[Verse 2]
Life moved on, I got in my way
Left dirt roads for ones that were paved
Wrong turns became my norm
I forgot where I was from
But when it all came crashing down
And I was more lost than found
I found those lessons still inside
No matter how hard I tried to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Years rolled by, I paid the price
For every wrong choice I couldn’t make right
[Chorus]
I’m not standing where I’ve been
But I’m stronger than the wreckage says I am
The storm may have knocked me down
But my roots run deep in this ground
No second guessin’, no hesitation
I owe it all to the foundation
[Post-Chorus]
(Owe it all…)
(Owe it all…)
To the foundation
[Bridge]
Now I see what they built
It wasn’t walls or stained glass guilt
Wasn’t something storms could shake
Something time could never take
Daddy’s gone but I still hear his voice
Momma’s faith still guides my choice
Every step of my restoration
Leads me back to the foundation
[Final Chorus]
I’m not standing where I’ve been
But I’m stronger than the wreckage says I am
The storm may have knocked me down
But my roots run deep in this ground
No second guessin’, no hesitation
I owe it all to the foundation
[Outro]
(Owe it all…)
(Owe it all…)
To the foundation
(Owe it all…)
(Owe it all…)
To the foundation
