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 out 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
