I am stone

Letra

[Verse 1] I am only stone, And like a newborn child, Held within my mother’s arms, I sleep so still, so mild. Until the half-awakened dawn Calls softly from the deep, And in my chest of coldest stone Breathes life into my sleep. [Pre-Chorus] Yet slowly I begin to know— My heart will learn to beat. And somewhere deep inside I dream Of being human, being complete. [Chorus beautiful emotional melody] I want to love, I want to hurt, I want to live beneath the sky. Through every death, through every birth, The thread of progress winds its way. And pain becomes the seed From which awareness grows. I want to love, I want to hurt, I want to live and know. I want to hurt, I want to love, I want to live. [Verse 2] I believe the thunder That breaks my shell apart Will open up a greater world For this imprisoned heart. A richer home of flesh and blood, A body yet unknown, Beyond this endless chain of forms, Beyond this life of stone. Still bound within the ancient chain, Among the lifeless mass, I share the breath of nature’s soul, Where nameless forces pass. [Pre-Chorus] Yet slowly I begin to know— My heart will learn to beat. And somewhere deep inside I dream Of being human, being complete. [Chorus in Beautiful melody] I want to love, I want to hurt, I want to live beneath the sky. Through every death, through every birth, The thread of progress winds its way. And pain becomes the seed From which awareness grows. I want to love, I want to hurt, I want to live and know. I want to hurt, I want to love, I want to live. [Verse 3] And with a trembling joy I greet Each blow that tears me through, For in the act that breaks me down A future takes its shape anew. Let every force that shatters me Scatter what I was, For where the pain begins to bloom, The end of death is born. Where mindless darkness fades away, Where lifeless silence ends, A kingdom waits beyond the pain, Where love from tears ascends. [Pre-Chorus] Yet slowly I begin to know— My heart will learn to beat. And somewhere deep inside I dream Of being human, being complete. [Final Chorus strong emotional melody ] I want to love, I want to hurt, I want to live beneath the sky. Through every death, through every birth, The thread of progress winds its way. And pain becomes the seed From which awareness grows. I want to love, I want to hurt, I want to live and know. I want to love, I want to hurt, I want to live. I want to love, I want to hurt, I want to live.
