Stones
Some are round, smooth and belong
Others sharp, rough and wrong
They’ve all been thrown
Breaking bones
Some people already know how to hurt on their own
Branches can be grafted on to new trees, to grow better
Written in letters to love and to anchor
“Does it matter what anyone else does?”
Sticks can be carved, lead beautiful orchestras
But we use them to wound bodies
And to do anything but ease
Then they came to a city of angels
Free of the school of evils
Each of us know the way
Find our way out of the fray
Just a few simple words to say
“I need some help”
I just need my heart to be held
“I didn’t want to say anything”
I’ve just been aching
“But I knew you would understand”
The hope finally sets in
You never realized how lonely you’ve been
They gave you something to believe in
They gave you the courage to win
Let the journey begin
