Lyrics
Verse
Do stones dream of falling
When they sleep in the hill?
Does the river remember
When it first learned to spill?
Does a shadow feel lonely
When the candle goes out?
Or does darkness just listen
When the light walks about?
Pre-chorus
Every question circles back
Like footprints in the snow
The more I try to chase the truth
The less I seem to know
Chorus
Oh—
If I’m only passing through
Tell me what I’m passing for
Do I move the world at all
Or just knock on its door?
If the wind can change its mind
Why can’t I do the same?
Do stones dream of falling
Or am I the one who’s afraid?
Verse
Do clocks get tired of counting
Every second they lose?
Do birds argue with the sky
When it won’t let them choose?
Does the forest keep secrets
In the rings of its bones?
Does the earth feel crowded
Or still quietly alone?
Pre-chorus
I collect the maybes
Like feathers in my hand
Every answer weighs me down
More than I had planned
Chorus
Oh—
If I’m only passing through
Tell me what I’m passing for
Do I move the world at all
Or just knock on its door?
If the wind can change its mind
Why can’t I do the same?
Do stones dream of falling
Or am I the one who’s afraid?
Bridge
If the moon forgets its lines
The tide still knows the play
If a question has no end
Does it still point the way?
Chorus
Oh—
If I’m only passing through
Let me leave a gentle trace
Like a ripple in the water
Or a footstep out of place
If the wind can change its mind
Maybe I’m allowed
Do stones dream of falling
Or am I just thinking out loud?
Outro
Do stones dream of falling…
Or do they trust the ground?
