Lyrics 
Stone Flower


What's that sound I hear coming from the ground 
that' going 'round and 'round I can feel it pull me down 
On my knees tears of joy have come to me 
As the flower sounds made it plain to see 


that this world is a perfect place to live 
there is a warm soft wind blowing 'round me just to give 
all the leaves such a haunting melody 
that forever will be a part of me 


Just like a ship out on the sea 
floating alone no one around me or beyond me 
the sun is on me 


then suddenly I felt a kiss out of the breeze 
that did caress me and posess me 
oh it astounds me 


All around there's a feeling in the air 
that with the grace of time we'll be getting closer there 
but day by day I can see they walk away 
and I wonder, Lord will they ever know 


that this world is a perfect place to live? 
Just look into your heart, find the love that's there to give 
Realize that the secret is to share
