have walked along a road
That not many will take on
I have carried heavy loads
I've done right. I've done wrong.
I have held a pilgrim's pack
So long... so long...
Chorus
I am now a living stone
In a house which no one found
And I have felt my spirit groan
With no one else around
Alone
Alone
And I am still a living stone
I gave up, oh, all of Me
I am just a stone that stumbles
And I am a stone thrown free
Chorus
I am just a part of castles
In the sky & on the brink
I'm a stone cast on a pond
Skipping there at last to sink
Alone
Alone
Through many trials, Toils and snares
The slave trader came to know
Like him I know I brought it in
With the rock & with the snow...
But...
I know bruised reeds He will not break
A gut'ring lamp He won't put out
Though I'm rejected by the world
Here am I to scream out loud...
I'm not alone!
I'm not alone!
I'm not alone...
