Intro
Verse 1
They came all the way from Tennessee
And I know how you'd hate to let them down
But I'd been thinking 'bout the times his hands deceived us
And wondering why you ever stuck around
You were born a fair hair child of the valley.
Though at times felt you were tethered to the ground
Chorus
You're not a stone
You're not a stone
Verse 2
I came to know the names of all my neighbours
Made a home in a valley of my heart
And I took a night the audience with strangers
Though not one could ever calm me down
Chorus
And I felt alone
And I felt alone
Just flesh and bone
Just flesh and bone

Verse 3
And I came home to find you at my table
Said the worries that had plagued you now were few
And I'd been wondering if I had the strength to face it
Son If I've found mercy surely you can too
Chorus
But you're not a stone
You're not a stone
Just flesh and bone
Just flesh and bone
Verse 4
Now you hold the hand of one who named you
Turn to me and said you must make these words your own
