Carrie Newcomer - Stones in the River lyrics

There's a crack in the gla** where the water gets out There's a dusty wind when the heart's in drought And the map of the world looks as if true north Disappeared entirely I can live divided or bent Conspire in my own diminishment Or believe in the better world I've dreamt That grows from inside out So today I'll drop stones into the river And the current takes them out into forever And the truth is most of us will never know Where our best intentions go And still I'll drop another stone So we trust in a dim flashlight And always walk into available light I'm not a woman inclined to bet But it's never failed me yet So today I'll drop stones into the river And the current takes them out into forever And the truth is most of us will never know Where our best intentions go And still I'll drop another stone So today we'll drop stones into the river And the current takes them out into forever And the truth is most of us will never know Where our best intentions go And still we'll drop another stone The empty self still hears a call To live in the center of the ache and awe It's there the hope of the whole world shines And yes, there still is time So today I'll drop stones into the river And the current takes them out into forever And the truth is most of us will never know Where our best intentions go And still I'll drop another stone
