I thought I'd be living in the light of day

I thought I'd been redeemed

I prayed my prayers but I went my way

Living just like I'd been

Standing, standing on shaky ground

He'd gone to the church all of his life

He heard what the preacher said

But the life he lived did him no good

The truth simply filled his head

Standing, standing on shaky ground

Shaky, shaky ground

Standing, standing on shaky ground

Standing, standing on shaky ground

I thought I'd be living in the light of day

I thought I'd been redeemed

I prayed my prayers but I went my way

Living just like I had been

Standing, standing on shaky ground

Shaky ground
