Cast Stones – Jonathan Ellis

Produced by Roger Boyer Jr.

Lyrics :

In my dreams, I’m flying,
Awake with these nightmares, I’m always crying,
When I come back home,
Sad I find my solace,
From where I roamed,
The land of cast stones,

I find my peace of mind,
under the stones,
Under the stones,
This time I won’t face it alone,
I’m shielded from,
The stones that were thrown,
Five years, it took my to learn,
Now I’m left with the scars,
The ones that were burned,

I play the victim, I’m the victim to –
My emotions, I use them to control you,
Take my fears, bound by the truth,
I’m breaking these bonds, chains from my youth,
I am the victim, you’re the victim too,
Circumstantial things can’t define you,
We all fear, that is the truth,
Let’s break out, I’m following you,

I’ve found the peace of mind,
It’s been under the stones,
This whole time,
Back then I didn’t see through,
The pain I saw from hurting you,
Five years, I sat there and burned,
You showed me the pain of being misheard,
We’ve seen the product of this pain,
I’m not standing by, I’m changing the game,

Kneeled down, I see an image,
Portraits of faces I have erased,
My sins have weighed me down,
For far too long, I’m casting these crowns,
I find forgiveness in your face,
There’s nothing sweeter than your grace,
I need your help,
Take my hand,
Help me to be greater than,

You’ve helped me to find the peace of mind,
I searched for, all this time
You give me reason, Help me climb,
Now we’re getting out and doing fine,
I’ve been so lonely, in my hole,
You waited for me to come into the world,
This is the time, it’s my turn,
Sharing the lessons that I’ve learned.
