Stone in the River

I used to chase the running stream

Tried to change what it made of me

But the water moves, no matter how

And I'm still standing here somehow

I'm a stone in the river

I don't flow, I don't fight

But I feel every current

Pass me left, pass me right

I'm not what I was

But I'm not washed away

Just a stone in the river

That chose to stay

I've held my breath through every rain

Waited for a voice that never came

Now I listen to the wind instead

And let it carry what I never said

I'm a stone in the river

I don't drift, I don't bend

But I feel the world changing

Like a long-time friend

I'm not trying to shine

Just to quietly remain

A stone in the river

That learned to stay

Not lost... not gone

Just still... in the song
