The Rock Song
As a girl she was superstitious, found ringed rocks and made three wishes
Threw them over her shoulder as blind as three mice
When she wished, she wished for him, happiness on a boy was pinned
‘Til a voice started whisperin’ you better think twice
And she learned,
I found this rock, I found it for me
Picked it up by the edge of the sea
Rough edges smoothing with the surf
How can you know how far a stone can throw
The deeper well, the deeper I grow
Closer to you the more I’m myself
With his dad he oft’ was fishin’, for a good catch he was wishin’
Why did he let that one get away
Moved his life across the world, learned of love from other girls
But from his shore he kept casting for more her way
And he learned,
I hold this rock, hold it for me
Picked it up by the edge of the sea
Rough edges smoother with every wave
How can you know how far a stone can skip
Bridging borders, bridging lips
Closer to you the more that we change
The charm it comes with the third, mountains scaled and lessons learned
The tide of life and love it ebbs and it flows
Quicksilver lightening flash burns down to embers and ash
But wind fans the flame of love and it glows
And it grows
I bring this rock, bring it for you
Picked it up by the green and the blue
Ocean that’s beckoning us to sail
And now we’ll know how far a dream can go
My wish for you I’m sure you know is a life of love and all it entails
