I Lay Down These Stones
I lay down these stones
And hope you will see
I do this for you
And what may one day be
That I am always there
And truly love you
Worrying about you
Is all that I do
These stones have meanings
This I did learn
When you turn one over
Progress is earned
One stone means faith
In what you can you do
Count on yourself
Make dreams come true
The next stone means hope
And all that I pray
Is the man you’ll become
With each passing day
Some stones cause pain
Since they show what you’ve done
Don’t run away
You’re never alone
But most of the stones
That I did lay
Are there for guidance
And light for the day
Light in the darkness
Is what I pray
I can give this to you
Don’t turn away
Accept what you’ve done
And change it from here
That’s how you grow
And then learn to care
To care about those
Who have been here for you
Waiting patiently
Is all that I do
