Like Water Like Stone - Piers Faccini

I’m counting time on a pebbled shore

I see it pass from some to more

I throw a stone and a ripple’s made

I watch it grow until it fades

The journey’s hard and the path is long

I walk the way that keeps me strong

But even mountains end up as sand

Upon the ground for us to stand

A million rain drops are falling now

Into the ocean they are bound

A million circles on the surface placed

They fade as fast as they are traced

We are like water we are like stone

We are of flesh we are of bone

And when the tie is closed and drawn

Like water and stone we are reborn
