Stone

Blessed be the wisdom of the ages

Quick, baby turn my pages

I wear my heart on my sleeve

Ain't no use in being close to all life's possibilities

That we may not understand

I know who I am

Life ain't full of soft landings

Still strong I stand

I'm stranded by water

And I shall not be moved

And the blood of my ancestors

Lies deep within these roots

I've travelled a good distance

Got a long way to go

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm stronger than stone, stone, stone

My will is my own, own, own

My soul is free, free, free

Sometimes it's too fast for y'all to see

Reveal what's inside, let the love flow

Hold on to the light, don't you let go

Can you see beauty in the shades of grey?

Or is it all simply black and white?

Well you may not understand me

I know who I am

Life ain't full of soft landings

Still strong I stand

I'm stranded by water

And I shall not be moved

The blood of my ancestors

Lies deep within these roots

I've travelled a good distance

And I've got a ways to go

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm stronger than stone, stone, stone

My will is my own, own, own

My soul is free, free, free

Sometimes it's too fast for y'all to see

Oh, life passes you by

Though you are frequently chasing time

With my two feet on the ground

I'm gonna march on, heart open wide

I'm stronger than stone, stone, stone

My will is my own, own, own

My soul is free, free, free

Sometimes it's too fast for y'all to see

I'm stronger than stone, stone, stone

My will is my own, own, own (Can't nobody tell me no)

My soul is free, free, free

Sometimes it's too fast for y'all to see

Hey, I'm stronger, hey, oh my my my

Hey, my will is my own, my own, hey

My soul is free, ooh

Sometimes it's too fast for y'all to see

Too much, I'm just so much that I can't stay one place

I gotta fly, be me

Hey, stronger, stronger than stone
