Set in Stone

by Stick Figure

1.
There’s a little old town and it’s tucked away on an island on the sea So far away from everything, where time it don’t mean a thing And time moves slow and certainly we got no place to be Where’s there’s love there is life, there is a hope there a dream This is the place for you and me We can go, we can stay We can hide, we can run away We can feel and swim in the ocean We’ve fallen, life keeps calling I found love in the strangest places, where all is meant be Jamming to the sounds of your favorite song, I said good love is all we need And when you get down, turn it up loud, and soon we’ll feel at peace When the world does you wrong, you listen to that song, like the birds listen to the trees {Chorus} There’s a fire on the horizon There’s a fire, so let it burn We can get higher over the mountain We’ve fallen, life keeps calling In this jungle, we are all just animals We’re criminals, but we’re innocent always In this jungle, we are all just animals We‘re criminals, but we’re innocent always So many miles I’ve walked So many rivers I’ve crossed So many battles I’ve lost, Make me who I am today And when tomorrow it comes, There’ll be a brand new sun This song is not over, It’s just begun {Chorus} There’s a fire on the horizon There’s a fire, so let it burn We can get higher over the mountain We’ve fallen, life keeps calling

In This Love 04:12
I’ve flown too close to the sun this time I keep flying and I’m gonna get burned I walk by the edge of the ocean and I look to the sky and then I watch this world turn {Chorus} in this love, in this love in this love, in this love I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders our love it always stay the same I don’t believe all the things that they told us it’s love that makes us feel this way in this love, in this love in this love, in this love I’m not ready to go this world is not ready for me the clock keeps spinning so slow I guess we’ll have to wait and see in this love, in this love in this love, in this love looking up, looking up, looking up now looking up as the sun it goes down looking up, things are looking up now I’ve flown too close to the sun this time I keep flying and I’m gonna get burned I walk by the edge of the ocean and I look to the sky and then I watch this world turn in this love, in this love in this love, in this love in this love, in this love in this love, in this love

This boats sinking down to the ocean floor I’m still drinking, drinking from the night before I’m wishing, wishing right now I was fishing I’m thinking, I’m thinking but my mind’s not listening I never felt so far away I never lived before day It’s been awhile since I’ve seen your face It’s been awhile, time to turn the page [Chorus] I wanna know, I want to know I want to feel the way I did I want to go, I want to go back, back to the way it was I got a good feeling, and this feeling won’t go away I’m not leaving, I’m waiting for a brighter day And I believe it, that good things are coming our way So keep dreaming, I’m feeling like I’m dreaming always It never felt this strange to me My guitar is all all I need It’s been awhile since I’ve been down this road And it’s been awhile, good things come and go If the sun is getting closer Then why does it feel cold? And in the eyes of the world I’m older I can’t take it much longer [Chorus] I wanna know, I want to know I want to feel the way I did I want to go, I want to go back, back to the way it was Just a little bit longer, the music making us stronger In the eyes of the world

your minds long gone, you're run down, you're all out of smoke light me up a cigarette before I go your whole world fits inside of the palm of your hands I try to tell em man, but they just don't understand [Chorus] the choice is yours when you’re ready, the choice is yours the choice is yours, taking it easy, the choice is yours, the choice is yours your arms wide open the walls are caving in don't bury your secrets deep within your skin when you focus on the good things, all things under the sun you free yourself from negativity and the good shall come [Chorus] the choice is yours when you’re ready, the choice is yours the choice is yours, taking it easy, the choice is yours, the choice is yours the choice is yours and the choice and mine you can't please everybody all of the time get up and pray things will be just fine but might not know till the end of the line happiness is only a state of mind open your eyes and in time you will find open your heart and let your love light shine and it don't cost a penny nickel or dime give a little love and get a little, ain't the way that it goes, what goes around it comes around so everyone knows, what you give is what you get so take a look cause it shows pickin up your brother any time he feelin low, smokin up a chalice or a spliff of pacalo rollin up the best with nothin less than hydro when I'm smokin on my spliff don't burn it fast I like it slow moving up in a style and in a fashion I'm supposed open a another door any time another door is closed move into the light in from the dark now exposed, when I'm reachin into sky I spread it out to let it grow never do a thing because somebody's sayin so

Sentenced 04:12
and as I got of the train way down in New Orleans I grabbed my hat, I put on my coat reached for my spliff, yeah I had myself a little smoke, yeah {Chorus} I was sentenced, living in detention sentenced, living in detention and now I’m locked up in jail I spend my days in a cold dark prison cell I rest alone, I watch myself grow old and I don’t deserve this, I just want to go home {Chorus} I should have known when I shot the man dead there would be a bounty, a bounty for my dead, yeah well I don’t care that that young mans dead I’m just missing one thing, a good spliff to my head I’ve been talking in my sleep I’ve been waking in my dreams I’ve been living in the past my good old faith is dead {Chorus} 2x

Out the Door 04:34
give me one good reason to love you give me one good reason to tell you I’m in love no more I’m walking out that door. give me one good reason to love you give me one good reason to tell you I’m in love no more I’m walking out that door I could have saw it coming from far and away now you’ve got me running, running away walk out the door, cause I don’t need your love I don’t mind the feeling of sleeping alone I’m better off being, being on my own walk out the door, cause I don’t need your love {Chorus} got a pistol in my pocket, and a bottle of booze the time has come, fuck it got nothing to lose walk out the door, cause I don’t need your love it’s the same damn feeling, I’ve been here too long the truth is so revealing, I knew it all along walk out the door, cause I don’t need your love {Chorus}
8.
Weary Eyes 03:39
It feels like yesterday, the day you up and went away won’t let you control my fate, everything is meant to be good things are on their way I can only wait and see never let your fate control you and it feels good everything is going the way it should sometimes we all feel misunderstood and that's ok but because I knew we could never could get back together and a wise man knows, nothing lasts forever let the truth unfold, we’re better off together and the cold wind blows, it’s just the way life goes I don’t mind the rain sometimes let the sky cry away and wipe your dreary eyes and put the cards on the table up into the hills we go I wanna fly high away never let your fate control you {Chorus} and it feels good everything is going the way it should sometimes we all feel misunderstood and that's ok but because i knew we could never could get back together and a wise man knows, nothing lasts forever let the truth unfold, we’re better off together and the cold wind blows, it’s just the way life goes smoke arose from the fire and the water put out that flame I’m so damn high but still I feel no shame I’m a rock, I’m an island and I don’t feel nothing and when one door closes, another is open

Shadow 03:51
oh there she goes, walking the same old country road oh there she goes, I said you think but you don’t know this may be the best day of your life said those are the words and the words that I live by and everybody’s talking, but they got nothing to say there's a time, there's reason and purpose and a place I don’t know how to say this, but girl you got me thinking your down upon your knees, like quicksand your sinking spilling your heart, you cannot fill up I said i thought this was the last time, you said you’d had enough {Chorus} oh there she goes, walking the same old country road oh there she goes, I said you think but you don’t know lords knows I got everything I need I got soul, I got rhythm, got a dog I got my guitar take a deep breath, and feel the air you're breathing, it gives life it’s rhythm and it comes from the trees and I can’t stop the time, lords knows you can’t either time it is your friend, time it is the healer forward always, keep the wheels in motion maybe that’s why I like living by the ocean {Chorus} when you got nothing you got nothing to lose when you got something, there’s something to choose one cup empty and the other is full never let nobody get the best of you lord you must forgive me if I go insane life it keeps you guessing and some people change our love, it never dies it remains the same I wish I could say it but I can’t say
11.
I saw you standing there from across the room your eyes they locked with mine, I wanted to talk to you I saw you smile at me, but I had to look away I’d sing a song for you if I could find the words to say I wish that I could find my loving lady, I love you girl but this world is so damn crazy I’d walk over over mountain tops and sail the ocean too there ain’t nothing girl, nothing I won’t do for you foundation, good vibration good things come, come from inspiration foundation, good vibration good things come, come from inspiration It’s just one of those days It’s just one of those days life is an open road, everything just stop and go give me the green light, I just feel like we running out of time but i’m not done chasing things fall in place when you stop racing and here I stand alone, I’m just kicking stones I got nowhere to go, I’m just breathing try to see there good things coming I know there’s love among us I love the earth and sun and the moon, the stars above us when it’s time to go, when it’s all said and done I’m not the only one who had a lot of fun when I look around I see my reflection of me once upon a time, a time when I was young there is this world out there, sometimes I just don’t care love is in the air, can you feel it? lets go for a ride, lets spread the good vibes lets all get together, everything will be alright one of those days, it’s just one of those days one of those days, it’s just one of those days one of those days, it’s just one of those days one of those days, it’s just one of those days

life, it’s a mixture of sunshine and rain laughter, pleasure, teardrops and pain all days can be bright, but it’s certainly true there will never be a cloud that the sunshine couldn’t shine through so keep on smiling, whatever betide you secure the knowledge that this world is beside you and you’ll find when you smile, your day will be brighter and all of your burdens will seem so much lighter for each time you smile, you will find it is true somebody, somewhere will smile back at you there’s nothing on this earth that can make life more worthwhile than the sunshine and the warmth of a beautiful smile so keep on smiling, keep smiling keep on smiling, keep smiling
14.
what puts a smile on your face? tell me the truth what really makes you happy? what makes you move? never giving up when life gets too hard right around the corner is a brand new start feels like we’re riding on a roller coaster we getting so far, we not getting closer life is all about the up and down take your medicine, stop falling around never take yourself too seriously laugh with the world, let live and be free why don’t more people try to take life slow? why is everyday so impossible? when I speak my mind I tell no lies once upon a time I laughed so hard I cried doesn’t really matter at the end of the day as long as you live your life and you feel happy what don’t hold you down will make you strong come on everybody, won’t you sing this song. {Chorus} smiles on faces, we’re putting smiles on faces smiles on faces, we’re putting smiles on faces it’s a long road and it’s taken me home been a long day, still got a ways to go I don’t feel like we’re getting older, I feel so alive but we’re that much closer keep pushing on when the times get tough and even if the storm comes, the waves get rough our love is greater than the deep blue sea what’s going around, it’s coming around, it’s following me ain’t it funny how things fall in place sometimes your shadow follows you when the sun don’t shine some people spend their whole life living in their head and I say listen to your heart instead keep searching for a lifetime waiting for a sign something gives me hope that we’ll be alright if all the girls in the world we’re living across the sea what a wonderful swimmer, yes you know that I would be In a world gone crazy, you’re smile has saved me when everything changes, I know we’re gonna make it {Chorus} 2x smiles on faces, we’re putting smiles on faces smiles on faces, we’re putting smiles on faces
