[00:00.00]Stones In The Road - Music Heaven
[00:30.29]When we were young we pledged allegiance
[00:34.16]Every morning of our lives
[00:37.62]The classroom rang with children's voices
[00:41.38]Under teacher's watchful eye
[00:44.87]We learned about the world around us
[00:48.84]At our desks and at dinnertime
[00:52.32]Reminded of the starving children
[00:56.02]We cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[00:59.98]And the stones in the road
[01:02.91]Shone like diamonds in the dust
[01:07.05]And then a voice called to us
[01:10.22]To make our way back home
[01:14.53]When I was ten my father held me
[01:18.24]On his shoulders above the crowd
[01:21.75]To see a train draped in mourning
[01:25.75]Pass slowly through our town
[01:29.16]His widow kneeled with all their children
[01:33.05]At the sacred burial ground
[01:36.26]And the TV glowed that long hot summer
[01:40.39]With all the cities burning down
[01:44.41]And the stones in the road
[01:47.37]Flew out beneath our bicycle tires
[01:51.44]Worlds removed from all those fires
[01:54.75]As we raced each other home
[02:27.04]And now we drink our coffee on the run
[02:30.92]We climb that ladder rung by rung
[02:34.55]We are the daughters and the sons
[02:38.35]And here's the line that's missing
[02:44.31]The starving children have been replaced
[02:47.91]By souls out on the street
[02:51.23]We give a dollar when we pass
[02:55.16]And hope our eyes don't meet
[02:59.05]We pencil in we cancel out
[03:02.32]We crave the corner suite
[03:05.95]We kiss your a** we make you hold
[03:09.57]We doctor the receipt
[03:14.14]And the stones in the road
[03:16.89]They fly out from beneath our wheels
[03:21.08]Another day another deal
[03:24.27]Before we get back home
[03:28.41]Stones in the road
[03:31.74]Leave a mark from whence they came
[03:35.69]A thousand points of light or shame
[03:39.63]Baby I don't know
