The Heaviest Stone
They gave me soil and a measure full of sand
But it ran between the fingers of my hand
And it's been that way since life at first began
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
They gave me water from a falling mountain stream
And a sense to both imagine and to dream
But there were holes around the bottom of the can
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
They gave me seas and the wide desert sand
And the hardest and the driest of land
But the storms overcame my caravan
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
They gave me bread and a forest full of meat
And a fire in the shelter for heat
But the flood took the flame from the pan
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
They gave me strength and the will to survive
They stoned me, but still I'm alive
And in the end, I understood their plan
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
And in the end, I understood their plan
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
But it ran between the fingers of my hand
And it's been that way since life at first began
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
They gave me water from a falling mountain stream
And a sense to both imagine and to dream
But there were holes around the bottom of the can
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
They gave me seas and the wide desert sand
And the hardest and the driest of land
But the storms overcame my caravan
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
They gave me bread and a forest full of meat
And a fire in the shelter for heat
But the flood took the flame from the pan
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
They gave me strength and the will to survive
They stoned me, but still I'm alive
And in the end, I understood their plan
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
And in the end, I understood their plan
The heaviest stone that the devil could throw at man
