I wrote this song for a person who is very close to me. Someone who went through something nobody should ever have to. An unbearable loss. There is a long journey ahead, fraught with pitfalls. Trust in the warrior spirit, be brave and be strong.
Break Through Stone
copyright 2023 Steve Smith (SOCAN)
Is there a love that can be brighter?
Is there a light that can be lighter?
Is there a fire that can burn longer?
Is there a natural bond that’s stronger?
A greater force than any other
Between a son and his mother….
To be stronger than gravity
Than the lunar tides that raise the sea
Than the journey on the fragile wings
Of a Monarch Butt-erfly
So much stronger than the rivers flow
Than the blowing prairie wind and snow
Than the tiny seed that grows so fast
It wants to touch, the sky
This wooden sword will break through stone
These tattered wings will fly a thousand miles
This broken heart will find a way
To beat on
When the fog rolls in, it’s hard to see
You’ll have to walk that bridge so carefully
Ever watchful for the missing boards
Don’t grab those broken rails
Spirits answering the angels call
They’ll always help you to avoid the fall
Boldly fight those swirling shadows in
The darkness of, the night
To be stronger than the driving rain
And to set aside the deepest pain
The distant lanterns glow illuminates
Illuminates the way
This wooden sword will break through stone
These tattered wings will fly a thousand miles
This broken heart will find a way
To beat on, to beat on
