Roll & Tumble

ROLL AND TUMBLE

Words & Music by Shirley Jackson, Socan

Just a pebble on the ocean beach
Each one so different and so unique;
They’re different colors,
Each a different race;
They just roll and tumble until they find their place.

Those pebbles united they can stand their ground.
They can fight the tide or be tossed around.
They don’t whine or moan or cry in pain,
They mold their shapes from the wind and rain.

(chorus)
They roll and tumble (roll and tumble)
Roll and tumble (roll and tumble)
Never looking for a place to hide
They just roll and tumble
With the tide.

If you look, we could learn a thing or two
About those little rocks and what they do.
They stand together through thick and thin;
It don’t matter their color or where they’ve been.

There’s a story behind every stone;
How they found their shape,
How they’ve made their home.
If you look at the age of a grain of sand;
The bigger the rock,
The younger the man.

(chorus)
They roll and tumble (roll and tumble)
Roll and tumble (roll and tumble)
Never looking for a place to hide
They just roll and tumble
With the tide.

(repeat chorus)
They roll and tumble (roll and tumble)
Roll and tumble (roll and tumble)
Never looking for a place to hide
They just roll and tumble
With the tide.
