HEART OF STONE
© 2005 by Mike Lickiss

Verse 1 There you stand all alone,
Hiding in your heart of stone
Do you know the cost?
There you go on your way,
Afraid of words that you may say
Showing scars for love you?ve got, you?ve got

Verse 2 Now we walk down the street,
Strangers whose paths once did meet
Hiding behind walls of clay
Once again, I?m alone
In my warm and familiar home
Where my walls will keep me safe

Chorus I say to love, I?ve had enough,
Turn my heart to stone
I say to life, take back my sight;
It?s time to close the door on you

Verse 3 Spent my life high and dry,
Watching other play at life
Until I let my walls fall down
Now I?m down in the mud,
Crying our tears of blood
Finding what I?ve hidden from

Chorus I say to love, I?ve had enough,
Turn my heart to stone
I say to life take back my sight;
I can?t bear the thought
I say to you, look what love can do,
When you open your heart
I scream at God, what were You thinking of,
Why did you give us love?

Verse4 Now I walk down the street
With my soul ripped out of me
Numb to the painful cry
It?s better to have loved and lost,
They haven?t paid the cost
Those fools who were so blind

Chorus I say to love, I?ve had enough,
Turn my heart to stone
I say to life take back my sight;
I can?t bear the thought
I say to you, look what love can do,
When you open your heart
I scream at God, what were You thinking of,
Why did you give us love?
