The First Stone Lyrics
You saw it in my face
I couldn’t hide it
Time made an open space
We stepped inside it
You saw the better part of me
I let it show through
I saw the sweeter part of you
Don’t ever want to
Be the one to throw the first stone?
We made a silent pact
Never to state it
Wisdom after the fact
Was overrated
You took the better part of me
Folded it into
Into the sweeter part of you
Who’d ever want to
Be the one to throw the first stone?
I thought I knew the rush
Nothing prepared me
Boy when it hit me flush
Force of it scared me
I saw the sweeter part of you
What else could I do
Gave you the beating heart in me
Why did you have to
Be the one to throw the first stone?
Unfolding in ways we can scarcely imagine
Unfolding in ways we can scarcely imagine
Every dumb thing exists
Gets our attention
The angel in our midst
Goes without mention
You took the better part of me
Folded it into
Into the sweeter part of you
Why did you have to
Be the one to throw the first stone?
