[Verse] Seeds that fall on stony ground No depth so no roots to be found Sun shines on them from on high Leaves they wither plants they die [Verse 2] Heat burns through the shallow soil Hopes vanish in this rocky toil Water just goes in a blink Dreams fade before they sink [Chorus] Stony ground's too shallow for dreams In the sun's blaze nothing seems To grip to grow or stand the test With no strong roots we'll find no rest [Bridge] Hardened earth so bitter and tough A Shallow life is never enough Faith can't grow in rocky dust Hold it tight or die it must [Verse 3] Hopes shattered in the midday light What once seemed day now feels like night In stony ground no love can bloom Soft hearts lie in a jagged tomb [Chorus] Stony ground's too shallow for dreams In the sun's blaze nothing seems To grip to grow or stand the test With no strong roots we'll find no rest
