The Flower That Shattered The Stone
Words and Music by Joe Henry and Jarvis
from The Flower That Shattered The Stone (1990)
G C G
Earth is our mother just turning around
Bm Em D
with her trees in the forest and roots underground
G C G
Our father above us whose sight is the wind
C G D G
paint us a rainbow without any end
C G
As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Bm Em D
let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
C G D
In the hearts of the children a pure love still grows
C G Em G
like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Am D7 G
like the flower that shattered the stone
G C G
A sparrow finds freedom beholding the sun
Bm Em D
in the infinite beauty we're all joined in one
G C G
I reach out before me and look to the sky
C G D G
did I hear someone whisper did something pass by
C G
As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Bm Em D
let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
C G D
In the hearts of the children a pure love still grows
C G Em G
like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Am D7 G
like the flower that shattered the stone
C G Em G
like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Am D7 G
like the flower that shattered the stone
