Keeper Of The Stones - John Williamson

If you take me from my land

You leave me with no soul, I am like a tree

Everything I am is rooted in the soil

Or I am just a stick to burn

I see you my brother

In your desert shining

With your hand of gentle welcome

You’re looking for my sense of humour

I wonder how you do it

Carryin' a heavy load

And I am proud to know you

The Keeper of the Stones

Elder of your tribe

The truth is turning slowly

I feel it in my bones

Rising on a beautiful day

I see it in your knuckles

I see it in your eyes

You have been as low as you can go

It makes me happy brother

To see how well you’re travelling

You’ve risen from the ashes, yeah

Soon you’ll be a poppy, standing on your own

They’ll try to bring you down when you’re tall

But you have the power given in the stones

Your victory belongs to us all
