The rocks lay scattered around my feet
From those they hurled carelessly
Bruises unseen inside and discreet
Screams silently choke me recklessly
All that concerns me-what matters most
Is the one thing I can't see

They condemn and demean
With little thought
While they ruffle their feathers
And chatter and preen
Don't you worry, not about me
I know who I am and what I need

As they suck on their grain of feed
I continue to walk, I'll never balk
It's just not me
Can't change what has happened
Wouldn't if I could
I was losing my footing

There were places I had to go
And things I had to tryI
had to know if time was on my side
Slowing down and nobody knows
Can't see what I've become
Or where I came from

The rocks lay scattered around my feet
From those they hurled carelessly
Bruises unseen inside and discreet
Screams silently choke me recklessly
All that concerns me-what matters most
Is the one thing I can't see

How the pebbles will lie
When all is said and done
They haven't rested yet
This mountain is steep and
Terrain is unfamiliar but I'll pass
Here within this heart, I'll hold onto me

That's where we all get to be
Running down this path of survival
Remorseful drowning in this life's sea
All that concerns me-what matters most
Is the one thing I can't see
Is the one thing I can't see
