There is a Stone in my heart.

Don’t be alarmed

I want it there.

It shines brightly

Emanating power

Asserting its will.

There is a Stone in my heart.

It was given to me

By my own mother.

A gift to her children

To give them strength

To shine in the dark.

Life is a curious thing.

No matter who you are

No matter where you’re born

No matter how you live

Life has an absolute for all these people.

It is unfair to everyone.

There is a Stone in my heart.

Shining in the darkness

Standing in the wind

Giving me strength

To face the world.

Sometimes the Stone dims

Sometimes the Stone falls over

Sometimes the Stone cracks

Sometimes life gets to me

But the stone never stops

For it is tenacity made manifest.

There it is shining brilliantly

Brilliant blue rays of determination.

Sealing its cracks

Standing back up

Stopping me from giving up

There is a Stone in my heart

And It Shines Forever.
