Here I am, a tiny pebble on the crags of life
Wondering when the tides will claim my soul.
Clinging tightly to jagged cliffs that cut the heart
My hands are bleeding � I am now losing hold.

My eyes have been blinded by the swimming sun
The rays reflect o�er the sea of constant change
Time has battered this shore since God�s first breath
And since before Time even held on to a name.

I�ve been tossed by a few hands that found me
And wrecked along the boulders of sorrowful woe.
I�ve been treasured by a few kind souls who knew me
Though that has been few� trust me, I know.

I�ve been tumbled by those who�ve tried to polish
And refine the soul entombed in the thick lime.
I�ve been carved to fit an artist�s expectations
I�ve been painted to match trendsetter�s clime.

Now here I am, a small lonely pebble
Clinging for life� should I let go?
The crags are jetting forth around me
And tease the waves with a death show.

Ah, but to let go and surrender to the ocean
And touch the sandy surface far below.
Let me go, dear Lord I sing to you
Just let me go� Let me go�
