And here I stand, I stand today
Among my kind
In the shadows I lay.
I lay among the lilies and the stones to decay
Sleep my dear child, for tomorrow you wake
Let me help you grow stronger
For without you I ache.
The Lily in The Stones was a beauty indeed
Like my child it's a light in the dark
Shining brightly, for I know my words he'll heed.
The Lily in The Stones was a beauty to me,
She reminded me of what I had lost and what I had gained
For no treasure was ever worth the friendship she gave.
I want you to know, my dear friend
I'll love you to the end
Whether dead or alive, no weeping or sorrow, crying or dread
But rejoicing that you lived the life that you did
Happy that you are in a world of spirits, my old friend.
Playing in the land of past light
Singing a song of Lilies and Stones
Give me strength when I'm shaking in my bones...
For The Lily in The Stones was a beauty indeed,
She saved me when I was overcome with fear
Let her light shine, let it shine
And save for me a place wherever you are
Cause I'll be there soon my friend...
I'll love you to the end
The Lily in The Stones was a beauty indeed
Not was, but is
And she's singing down to me
She reminded me of what I had lost and what I had gained
For no treasure was ever worth the friendship she gave.
I want you to know, my dear friend
I'll love you to the end
Whether dead or alive, no weeping or sorrow, crying or dread
But rejoicing that you lived the life that you did
Happy that you are in a world of spirits, my old friend.
Playing in the land of past light
Singing a song of Lilies and Stones
Give me strength when I'm shaking in my bones...
Sleep my dear child, for tomorrow you wake
Let me help you grow stronger
For without you I ache.
