Before the Stone

[Verse 1] Found an old guitar With rust beneath the strings Never knew a broken thing Could teach a heart to sing Summer in my lungs Dust upon my shoes Every road felt infinite With everything to lose [Pre-Chorus] I didn't know How quickly time could run I only knew... The morning sun... [Chorus] Before the stone Before the sand Before forever held my hand Before the stars Learned who I'd be I was just another melody Every dream Still wild and young Every song still left unsung If I could go... Back to where it all began... Would I still become... The man I am? [Verse 2] Campfires in July Names carved into trees Laughing like tomorrow Would arrive exactly as we dreamed Photographs still new Not faded by the years Never thought I'd learn someday The weight of keeping tears [Pre-Chorus] If I had known What waited down the line Would I have turned... Or called it mine? [Chorus] Before the stone Before the flame Before the world remembered my name Before the wind Knew where I'd stand I held tomorrow in my hands Every hope Still undefined Every heartbeat still just mine If I could see... Everything ahead... Would I still walk... Where my footsteps led? [Bridge] Maybe every ending... Starts before we know... Maybe every answer... Needs somewhere to grow... Maybe home... Was never waiting... Maybe... Home was something... We were building all along... [Final Chorus] Before the stone Before the sky Before I learned that goodbyes fly Before the silence learned my voice Before I ever had a choice Every road Still called my name Before I knew I'd never be the same If I could stand... Right there again... I'd choose... Every single step... Again. [Outro] (Softly) Some stories... Begin long before... Anyone remembers them.
