If a Stone Had Words To Speak
If a stone had words to speak
Down below, and high on a mountain peak
The stories it would tell, would turn it weak
Stones of a desert, would shed rivers of tears
And those that are lost in oceans
Would dry like the autumn leafs
For all the love they witnessed live
For all the life, they witnessed leave
If a stone had words to speak
Would it tell stories of humanity
Or sing sad songs of insanity
For if a stone had words to speak
It would tell us of words, that would make a grown man weep
Of moments, when we no longer held evil behind our teeth
but rather spoke it high, with foolish pride and skill
Moments, when we no longer recognised we all inside us feel
and abandoned millions of souls, in agony to be killed
That is why If a stone had words to speak
Its stories would be filled with pain and grief
It would sing a song, locked inside for years and years
only if a stone had words to speak
