**lyrics below

My project for songwriting class. I wrote the lyrics and part of the music and sang, and my friend Sonya wrote the rest of the music and played piano. My first real original song. Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:

Stones stand alone
Build an impenetrable wall
Solid and strong and on their own
A million miles tall

Weapons forged from stone
Are deadly at first blow
Forged from fear, forged from pain
Hidden deep below

Hearts made of stone
Are the weakest of all
Deluded until too late
For hearts made of stone
Are still hearts made of stone
And hearts forget stones also break

Stones are funny things
Broken by the sun
Its warmth and constant presence
Turns the strongest stone into dust

But nature takes its course
Stones lose less than they gain
To live a life warmed by the sun
Is worth the days of rain

Hearts made of stone
Are the weakest of all
Deluded until too late
For hearts made of stone
Are still hearts made of stone
And hearts forget stones also break

So you suffer the rain
And you suffer the pain
So you can eventually suffer the sun
'Cause although it's what's killing you day after day
Your stone heart fights to beat for each one

Hearts made of stone
Are the strongest of all
Until they begin to fall
Then hearts made of stone
Become mere flesh and bone
Cracked in two at the foot of a wall

Hearts made of stone
Are the weakest of all
Deluded until too late
For hearts made of stone
Are still hearts made of stone
And hearts forget stones also break
