[Intro] [Vocal: airy male/female duet, intimate, reverent] [Hums] Morning lays gold on the water Stillness teaches the weight of grace [Verse] [Vocal: male, warm baritone, calm, close-mic] They threw their doubt like gravel in my path Cold little judgments, sharp with yesterday I did not answer with another stone I placed them down and learned a steadier way [Pre-Chorus] [Vocal: female, breathy, tender, rising] What was meant to break me made a foundation What was meant to shame me changed its name Every burden carried back a meaning Every wound returned as living flame [Chorus] [Vocal: male/female duet, lifted, calm-powerful] Every stone they throw, we turn to light Every hard word bends into our height Stone by stone, slow and holy Stone by stone, we rise Every stone they throw, we build a way Water holds the sky, and so do we today Stone by stone, slow and holy Stone by stone, we rise [Verse 2] [Vocal: female, airy, grounded, emotional] I saw the circle hidden in the breaking Gift inside the ache, breath inside the bruise Nothing given disappears forever What leaves the hand returns in what we choose [Bridge] [Vocal: duet, cinematic soar, devotional] No waste in the sorrow No loss in the seed What falls to the earth Becomes what we need [Oohs and Aahs] [Chorus] [Vocal: male/female duet, fuller, glowing, strong] Every stone they throw, we turn to light Every hard word bends into our height Stone by stone, slow and holy Stone by stone, we rise Every stone they throw, we build a way Water holds the sky, and so do we today Stone by stone, slow and holy Stone by stone, we rise [Outro] [Vocal: soft duet, breathy, fading] Use every stone Use every stone Till the morning knows your name [End]
