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
