(Verse 1) The alarm clock rings like a battle cry Another Monday morning ‘neath a slate-gray sky The kitchen light flickers, the coffee’s gone cold And the weight of the week is already taking hold. The rent’s a mountain I’m supposed to move With nothing but the rhythm in a worn-out shoe They say the odds are stacked, they say the wall is high But they don’t see the fire in a quiet eye. (Pre-Chorus) I’m looking at the shadow, it’s ten feet tall Waiting for the moment that I trip and fall But I’ve got a secret they don’t understand I’ve got the whole wide universe held in my hand. (Chorus) I’m standing in the valley with a pocket full of stones Flesh and spirit, but I’m never alone You can bring your armor, you can bring your shield But I’ve got a light that’ll make the giant yield. It’s David and Goliath in the checkout line It’s keeping my head up when I’m falling behind With a little bit of faith and a lot of heart I’ll pull the biggest tribulations all apart. (Verse 2) The screen is screaming what I ought to be Trying to sell a version of a "better" me The news is a flood and the doubt is a leak And I’m feeling the tether getting tired and weak. But I breathe in deep, I align with the stars I’m more than my debt and I’m more than my scars There’s a frequency humming in the soles of my feet A victory song on a dead-end street. (Bridge) It isn’t about the size of the swing It’s the quiet power that the spirit can bring Call it the Father, the Source, or the Sky It’s the "Yes" in my soul when the world says "Why?" One smooth stone for the fear in my head One smooth stone for the words left unsaid I take my aim, I let it fly— Watch the heavy burdens go waving goodbye. (Chorus) I’m standing in the valley with a pocket full of stones Flesh and spirit, but I’m never alone You can bring your armor, you can bring your shield But I’ve got a light that’ll make the giant yield. It’s David and Goliath in the checkout line It’s keeping my head up when I’m falling behind With a little bit of faith and a lot of heart I’ll pull the biggest tribulations all apart. (Outro) Yeah, the giants are falling. (Stomp, clap) Hear ‘em hitting the ground. (Stomp, clap) I’m walking on steady. With the faith I have found. Just a girl and a stone... And I’m never alone.
