[Intro] [Verse 1] We’ve walked through nights that felt unending, Held our breath through breaking storms, Found our courage in the shadows Where the world felt tired and worn. But every step we took together Carved a truth we came to know— We’re not fragile, we’re not falling, We’re the roots beneath the road. [Pre‑Chorus] And the wind can shake the mountains, But it can’t shake what we’ve grown… ’Cause a thousand hearts united Make a strength that stands alone. [Chorus] We stand like stones in a rising river, Side by side through the coldest weather. Every scar, every tear, every story we’ve carried Has built us into something steady. We don’t bow, we don’t break, we don’t stand here alone— Hand in hand, we stand like stones. [Verse 2] We’ve seen hope in quiet places, In the hands that reached to lift, In the friends who held our shoulders When the world began to shift. And the love that didn’t bind us, But instead helped us to rise— It became the fire inside us When the night closed in our eyes. [Pre‑Chorus] And the storms can roar around us, But they can’t claim what we’ve known… Every soul that stands with kindness Turns a whisper into stone. [Chorus] We stand like stones in a rising river, Side by side through the coldest weather. Every scar, every tear, every story we’ve carried Has built us into something steady. We don’t bow, we don’t break, we don’t stand here alone— Hand in hand, we stand like stones. [Flute Solo] [Bridge] And when the flood comes rushing, We’ll hold fast, we’ll hold tight— Every heart becomes a lantern, Every voice becomes a light. We’re the ones who lift each other, We’re the ones who make it known— There’s a power in compassion That can turn the tide to gold. [Final Chorus — Full Band, Harmonized Guitars, Choir‑Like Lift] We stand like stones in a rising river, Side by side through the coldest weather. Every scar, every tear, every story we’ve carried Has built us into something steady. We don’t bow, we don’t break, we don’t stand here alone— Hand in hand, we stand like stones. Yeah, hand in hand, we stand like stones.
