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 our 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
there's so much more than me and you
but brother how we must atone

before we turn to stone
