One of those stones

Weather-bitten and scarred by life

Embittered and surrounded by temptation

Like behind bars, always the same

Each of my steps caused a problem

Nights passed in heinous fashion

Almost drowned in an ocean of shit

No-one ever picked me up, I lacked maturity

Some stones just need some polishing

Then you happened by, had your compass at your side

You saw that this one stone was special

You picked it up and you didn't toss it into the sea

You gave it a big, warm place in your heart

 

Do you recall the place, where I have waited for you?

Side by side with the other stones there I lay

I was cold, homeless and alone

Before you came, I was just one of those stones

I was covered by the dust, before you found me

You set me in motion, you brought me a new momentum

I was cold, I was petrified and alone

Before you came, I was just one of those stones

Homeless and alone, just one of those stones

Do you recall the place, at which I waited for you?

 

You build me up, you lie next to me

With you I can talk about anything

Or just without words simply gesticulate

Back in the days, I was sure I'd never have it figured out

You led me down new paths

For the first time I felt alive

I also know that not everyone gets this lucky

I will not go places no more, I am only here because of you

You happened by, had your compass at your side

You saw that this one stone was special

You picked it up and you did not toss it into the sea

You gave it a big, warm place in your heart

 

Do you recall the place, where I have waited for you?

Side by side with the other stones there I lay

I was cold, homeless and alone

Before you came I was just one of those stones

I was covered by the dust, before you found me

You set me in motion, you brought me a new momentum

I was cold, I was petrified and alone

Before you came and took me with you

No one else could've brought me to salvation

The way you did, in that you came

And took me with you

I was cold, I was petrified and alone

Before you came, I was just one of those stones

Homeless and alone, just one of those stones
