Your father came and went like the ocean's tide And the day he left he never said goodbye
Your mother started drinking like the whole world died
You've been waiting for a miracle all your life
* Cause if the fires don't burn it down The rains will wash it away
If you're looking for solid ground A stone will never break
** So give me all your pain And love will set you free
Give me all your shame Put all your weight on me
And I'll be the stone that you need me to be
You spend your nights looking at the stars Thinking your life would be better on Mars
Checking your pulse just to feel it beat Looking for a stone to keep the peace
