Lyrics
Do You Have a Stone?
Words by Marianne Kesler
Music by Marianne Kesler & Jimm Mosher
I know I am not like you and you don't care for me.
I am deeper than these shallow differences you see.
Who I am & where I've been runs thicker than my skin.
And I'd appreciate it if you took a look within.
Do you have a stone you'd like to throw?
And are you all alone? I need to know.
Cause I can see that hate burnin' in your eyes,
Life is not a game, there are no alibis.
So put it in your pocket...for another day.
Or even better yet...throw the stone away.
Sticks and stones may break your bones,
But words can never hurt ya.
Whoever wrote those stupid lines...
I'd really beg to differ.
So park the bus of prejudice and pull off to the side,
Hop up on my tandem bike and we can share the ride.
