City Of Stone

Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like
What happened, and what we are like now
If you have decided you want what we have
And are willing to go to any length to get it
Then you are ready to take certain steps.

At some of these we balked
We thought we could find an easier, softer way
But we could not
With all the earnestness at our command
We beg of you to be fearless and thorough from the very start.
Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas
And the result was nil until we let go absolutely

Your living city of stone
Your living city of stone
Of stone...
