let's take a better look

beyond a story book

and learn our souls are all we own

before we turn to stone



let's go to sleep with clearer heads

and hearts too big to fit out beds

and maybe we won't feel so alone

before we turn to stone



and if you wait for someone else's hand

you will surely fall down

if you wait for someone else's hand

you'll fall, you'll fall



i know that i am nothing new

my words might not seem much to you

but brother how we must atone

before we turn to stone
