Lyrics
Let's take a better look
Encouraging a closer examination
Beyond a story book
Looking beyond traditional narratives or fairy tales
And learn our souls are all we own
Realizing that our souls are our sole possessions
Before we turn to stone
Before we become emotionally unresponsive
Let's go to sleep with clearer heads
Advocating for a peaceful sleep with clearer minds
And hearts too big to fit out beds
Hearts filled with immense emotions
And maybe we won't feel so alone
Hoping to alleviate the feeling of loneliness
Before we turn to stone
Before we lose our capacity for connection
And if you wait for someone else's hand
Warning against dependence on others
You will surely fall down
Risk of failure when relying on others
If you wait for someone else's hand
Reiterating the risk of dependence
You'll fall, you'll fall
Emphasizing the inevitable downfall
I know that i am nothing new
Acknowledging personal insignificance
Theres so much more than me and you
Awareness of a larger world beyond self
But brother how we must atone
Recognizing the need for repentance
Before we turn to stone
Before losing touch with redemption
But brother how we must atone
Reiteration of the call for repentance
Before we turn to stone
Highlighting the urgency for redemption
Before we turn to stone
Emphasizing the necessity for prompt action
