Lyrics
One Stone At a Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He was just a little boy the day his mama died
And his daddy said be strong my son you and me don't cry
So he built a wall around his heart to keep the hurt away
And I ran into that wall again today
I'm gonna love that wall away
I'll show the boy inside the man there's no need to be afraid
I'll hold him close until he knows
His heart is safe with mine
I'm gonna love that wall away
One stone at a time
Some wall's are necessary to help hold back the time
But I wanna mend a broken heart keeps the hurt inside
So I'll gladly build eleven years cause love's it's own reward
And someday that wall won't be there anymore
I'm gonna love that wall away
I'll show the boy inside the man there's no need to be afraid
I'll hold him close until he knows
His heart is safe with mine
I'm gonna love that wall away
One stone at a time
I'll hold him close until he knows
His heart is safe with mine
I'm gonna love that wall away
One stone at a time
