Stone Warrior

Lyrics

I was made to last forever Chiseled hard and carved in pride Told to hold the line, not falter Strength was all I had inside

When I hurt, I turned to silence Taught that pain should never show I buried every trembling moment Built a wall that wouldn’t grow

I am the stone warrior, carved to stand Still in the storm, still in demand If I crack, even just a bit, I might fall apart So I hold my breath, and I hold my heart

Now the weight I held is shifting And the silence starts to strain I want to scream, to sing, to soften But I’m still afraid of rain

But feeling isn’t failure And tears don't mean I'm weak I was never meant to crumble But I was always meant to speak

I was the stone warrior, carved to stand But now I breathe, now I expand If I crack, even just a bit, I let in the light Let it fill my chest, let it set things right
