turn to stone

Ingrid Michaelson

Let's take a better look
beyond a story book
and learn our souls are all we own
before we turn to stone.

Let's go to sleep with clearer heads
and hearts too big to fit out beds.
And maybe we won't feel so alone
before we turn to stone.

And if you wait for someone else's hand
you will surely fall down.
And if you wait for someone else's hand
you'll fall, you'll fall.

I know that I am nothing new.
There's so much more than me and you.
But brother how we must atone
before we turn to stone.
