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
My words might not seem much to you
But brother how we must atone
Before we turn to stone
