Your father came and went
Like the ocean’s tide.
And the day he left he never said goodbye.
Your mother started drinking
Like the whole world died.
You’ve been waiting for a miracle all your life
Cause if the fires don’t burn it down
The rains will wash it away.
If you’re looking for solid ground
A stone will never break.
So give me all your pain
And love will set you free.
Give me all your shame
Put all your weight on me.
And I’ll be the stone
That you need me to be.
You spend your nights looking at the stars
Thinking your life would be better on mars.
Checking your pulse just to feel it beat
Looking for a stone to keep the peace.
