    *Lyrics*
    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 will be no one around
    Oh 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

I hope colors bring more singers like him into this channel. I can't wait Leon Bridges to sing
