They See Rocks Lyrics

We, when it's quiet, see swarms of things flicker by and shake you by the dust of their wings.
Oh, send it in the air.
And in a ray of light, you can hold it in your hand.
It's not easy, being born so free.
Bigger than a crowd could ever figure I'd be.

Oh, send me in the air.
And in a ray of light, hold it in your head.
I'm convinced your dream is something richer than a man could ever picture.

Too bad they just see rocks. To them they're only stones. But it's how you build a home. Still I don't believe love's so brief. Decades pass and pictures ask what did I mean?

Oh send them through the air.
Until they switch the light off, I'll hold it in my head.
If we move backwards, I hope it's some place richer than a man could ever picture.

Too bad they just see rocks. To them they're only stones. But it's to us they're owed. There's a reason why I sing this dream louder than a lull-a-bye.
Oh, will you believe?
You are in my hand and you are on my tongue under this cloud of dust.
Oh wrecking ball I see you working. Shining your light through this building. You've come too soon.
