Lyrics

Stone Flower

What’s that sound I hear coming from the ground

that' going 'round and 'round I can feel it pull me down

On my knees tears of joy have come to me

As the flower sounds made it plain to see

that this world is a perfect place to live

there is a warm soft wind blowing 'round me just to give

all the leaves such a haunting melody

that forever will be a part of me

Just like a ship out on the sea

floating alone no one around me or beyond me

the sun is on me

then suddenly I felt a kiss out of the breeze

that did caress me and posess me

oh it astounds me

All around there’s a feeling in the air

that with the grace of time we’ll be getting closer there

but day by day I can see they walk away

and I wonder, Lord will they ever know

that this world is a perfect place to live?

Just look into your heart, find the love that’s there to give

Realize that the secret is to share
