When Stones Go Down

Stones hide under rocks for cover Left to their own devices they will never move And don't have plans this afternoon There is something about boulders too Breaking loose from mountain tops Roaring down with tumbling sounds Stones have no choice but to follow in their actions Join in the boulders calamity of gravity Down with trouble and nothing better to do One slip is all it takes to start an avalanche When they crush the home set on the cliff Make splintered sounds, cracking wood It is too much collective heavy force People inside become crumpled with the structure Massive weight makes changes Occupants of the house don't care for boulders And stones don't think of murder They hide under boulders normally Occasionally rocks become emotional Boulders roll over with indifference When stones go down the mountain
