Stones, Bones, and Fossils

[Verse 1] I walked the water’s silver thread With stones beneath and sky ahead The world said hush, the field said speak And something ancient stirred the creek A fossil curled beneath my feet A jawbone sang a silent beat No book, no guide, no sacred text Just marrow dreams and earth’s reflex [Chorus] Stones, bones, and fossils Echo in my hands Carried through the silence Trying to understand What I am, what I’ve held What the water tried to tell In the vessel of this body— I remember. I rebel. [Verse 2] A heart carved deep in limestone skin A whisper where the crack begins A message shaped by wind and time It said I love you in raw design I never asked to hold the scroll But here I am, a breathing soul With every weight I couldn’t name Now singing softly through the flame [Chorus] Stones, bones, and fossils Echo in my hands Carried through the silence Trying to understand What I am, what I’ve held What the water tried to tell In the vessel of this body— I remember. I rebel. [Bridge] They called it junk, they called it wild They called me nothing but a child But I was learning how to read The river’s song, the sacred seed No more shame for what I feel No more asking if it’s real These stones are stars, these bones are scrolls These fossils carry flame and soul [Final Chorus – softened and layered] Stones, bones, and fossils Echo in my hands I carry them with reverence Across forgotten lands Not for proof, not to sell But because I know them well They are me, I am their vessel— And now I sing. I swell.
