**"Unsettled Ground"**
*(Martina McBride style)*
**[Verse 1]**
I used to walk that road, shadows fall behind,
A life I thought was mine, forever tied to time.
Kids at the dinner table, stories, laughter in the air,
But the winds have shifted, now I find myself standing somewhere else out there.
**[Pre-Chorus]**
What was once so steady, now trembles in the night,
Even the strongest ground can change with the light.
**[Chorus]**
I’ve moved on to a different world, on unsteady ground,
Where storms can come and the peace can be so hard to found.
What’s settled today could crumble with the wind’s slow flow,
What’s now will change—just like the weather, I know.
What’s now will change—oh, I’ve learned to grow.
**[Verse 2]**
It wasn’t always thin, that soil beneath my feet,
Cracked and shifting, like the storms I’ll never meet.
The past keeps whispering, trying to pull me back in,
But I’ve learned to stand tall, even when I don’t know where I’ve been.
**[Pre-Chorus]**
That shadow lingers still, but I’ll find my way somehow,
What’s solid today could turn to water now.
**[Chorus]**
I’ve moved on to a different world, on unsteady ground,
Where storms can come and the peace can be so hard to found.
What’s settled today could crumble with the wind’s slow flow,
What’s now will change—just like the weather, I know.
What’s now will change—oh, I’ve learned to grow.
**[Bridge]**
In the calm I see the storms are coming near,
What feels so sure today might disappear.
Time keeps shifting, like the wind that blows,
What’s settled now—maybe it won’t hold.
**[Outro]**
Once I thought I had all I needed to stay,
But I’ve come to see, nothing’s meant to stay that way.
What’s settled now can drift and fade,
Change is everything—I’ve finally learned to embrace the change.
