Rolling the stone away: grief, defiance, and stubborn hope.
Words & music by Brody Bond · Written June 6, 2022
You can't sing with me now
Sing with me now
All things will be new
You can't dream with me now
Dream with me now
Against all that is assumed
You can't laugh with me now
Trade knowing glances with me now
Laughing at the gloom
You can't cry with me now
Weep with me now
Waiting for this tomb to open, too
You were love
You were love
Like kindred blood, our souls
Rock and roll
Our stones away
You just gotta believe me
It's only what you told me
That life is hard
But there's truth and hope
It's a dance with the darkness
Chasing shadows chasing us
We gotta run from the running
Escape the escape
You were loved
You were loved
Like kindred blood, our souls
Rock and roll
Our stones away
The only way to live
Is to keep on trying
To disprove ourselves
Validation comes in many forms
Accepting our acceptance isn't easy
It's a grace though
In a world that uses illusions to wage war
