lyrics

In the middle of an ocean, a little battered and broken
I can hardly offer shelter from the wind
And the waves have left me shaken, the beating sun has faded
My colors, and my walls are growing thin.

I’m sure I don’t look like all that much to you
But beneath all this mess lies a foundation so true

I’m gonna be the one who sticks around
I’m gonna be the one who stands her ground
In the end I may spend my days alone
so it goes, I’m a house built on a stone

In the distance there’s a shoreline, a bed of rock with tall pines
Stretching up to touch the open sky
And although we’ve never spoken, I can tell that they’re devoted
For the years they’ve remained side by side
Oh forever’s such an easy word to say
It’s a beautiful thing when hearts choose to stay

I’m gonna be the one who sticks around
I’m gonna be the one who stands her ground
In the end I may spend my days alone
so it goes, I’m a house built on a stone

I’m surrounded by the song of the birds, sometimes the cool of the rain
Maybe I’m lonely, but how can I complain, how can I complain
I will honor the choice I’ve made

I’m gonna be the one who sticks around
I’m gonna be the one who stands her ground
In the end I may spend my days alone
so it goes, I’m a house built on a stone
