The Once Heart of Stone
Find mine heart of stone
On thy pedestal o' glass
For if it weigh more
Shall then shatter the mass
Mine heart of stone
Hath weighed me down so
When you came about
Lightly it became to know
That stone became a jewel
Crafted by your grace
And the jewel became diamond
Just by the smile on your face
So be it by your charm
Or by thine eyes
You awakened my heart
Be it awakened, realize
That you as an angel
Gaveith me a key
To which opened a stone
And set a diamond free
So be it known
Now to diamond from stone
This heart will love thee
Because you set it free
