They See Rocks - Aloha

We, when it’s quiet, see swarms of things flicker by and shake you by the dust

of their wings

Oh, send it in the air

And in a ray of light, you can hold it in your hand

It’s not easy, being born so free

Bigger than a crowd could ever figure I’d be

Oh, send me in the air

And in a ray of light, hold it in your head

I’m convinced your dream is something richer than a man could ever picture

Too bad they just see rocks.

To them they’re only stones.

But it’s how you

build a home.

Still I don’t believe love’s so brief.

Decades pass and pictures

ask what did I mean?

Oh send them through the air

Until they switch the light off, I’ll hold it in my head

If we move backwards, I hope it’s some place richer than a man could ever

picture

Too bad they just see rocks.

To them they’re only stones.

But it’s to us

they’re owed.

There’s a reason why I sing this dream louder than a lull-a-bye

Oh, will you believe?

You are in my hand and you are on my tongue under this cloud of dust

Oh wrecking ball I see you working.

Shining your light through this building.

You’ve come too soon
