FLOWER THAT SHATTERED THE STONE
by Joe Henry & John Jarvis
The earth is our mother Just turning around
With her trees in the forest And roots underground
Our father above us whose sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow Without any end
As the river runs freely (CHORUS)
The mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers
And see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children
A pure love still grows
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Sparrows find freedom Beholding the sun
In the infinite beauty We're all joined in one
I reach out before me And look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper
Did something pass by
(CHORUS)
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
