Lyrics Gather 'Round The Stone - Ben Harper

Gather 'Round The Stone

Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
You’re too young to know that you’re too young to go
There’s no freedom to be found lying face up in the ground
I said, hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Ashes from an unfinished life are all that’s left
In a tear-drop-shaped locket hanging from his mother’s chest
I said hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
You whip the back of freedom 'till it bleeds an oil stream
Then you sail down upon it in your killing machine
I said hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Old men who send children off to die in vain
They will hear death’s constant whisper call remember my name
I said hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
I say hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Say hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
