Throwing Stones

THROWING STONES

I push and pull my packs of prize possessions
That prove my worth like golden rings and chains
I don't remember well names or faces
I keep adding to my long list of complaints

I dream of having more I work but can't afford
It's a song that keeps repeating it's refrain

CHORUS
I'm throwing stones along this road
My footing sometimes falters from the load
Stop and rest and reconnect
There's a lesson to be learned in letting go
So I'm throwing stones, throwing stones

It's pride that clouds the skies of my emotions
And celebrates each day like Holloween
A mask that makes me somehow more than human
The kind of man I think the world wants me to be

I wander like the wind I feel like giving in
To the pressures of becoming more than me

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I'm facing fears and weighing heavy burdens
I've carried on my back and around my neck
The ruts I filled with rocks along this journey
Might pave the way for those who follow next
