Lyrics Stone - Ledisi

Stone

Blessed be the wisdom of the ages
Quick, baby turn my pages
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Ain’t no use in being close to all life’s possibilities
That we may not understand
I know who I am
Life ain’t full of soft landings
Still strong I stand
I’m stranded by water
And I shall not be moved
And the blood of my ancestors
Lies deep within these roots
I’ve travelled a good distance
Got a long way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m stronger than stone, stone, stone
My will is my own, own, own
My soul is free, free, free
Sometimes it’s too fast for y’all to see
Reveal what’s inside, let the love flow
Hold on to the light, don’t you let go
Can you see beauty in the shades of grey?
Or is it all simply black and white?
Well you may not understand me
I know who I am
Life ain’t full of soft landings
Still strong I stand
I’m stranded by water
And I shall not be moved
The blood of my ancestors
Lies deep within these roots
I’ve travelled a good distance
And I’ve got a ways to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m stronger than stone, stone, stone
My will is my own, own, own
My soul is free, free, free
Sometimes it’s too fast for y’all to see
Oh, life passes you by
Though you are frequently chasing time
With my two feet on the ground
I’m gonna march on, heart open wide
I’m stronger than stone, stone, stone
My will is my own, own, own
My soul is free, free, free
Sometimes it’s too fast for y’all to see
I’m stronger than stone, stone, stone
My will is my own, own, own (Can't nobody tell me no)
My soul is free, free, free
Sometimes it’s too fast for y’all to see
Hey, I’m stronger, hey, oh my my my
Hey, my will is my own, my own, hey
My soul is free, ooh
Sometimes it’s too fast for y’all to see
Too much, I’m just so much that I can’t stay one place
I gotta fly, be me
Hey, stronger, stronger than stone
