Versuri Stones In The Road
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
When we were young, we pledged allegiance every
morning of our lives
The classroom rang with children's voices under
teacher's watchful eye
We learned about the world around us at our desks
and at dinnertime
Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our
plates with guilty minds
And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in
the dust
And then a voice called to us to make our way
back home
When I was ten, my father held me on his
shoulders above the crowd
To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly
through our town
His widow kneeled with all their children at the
sacred burial ground
And the TV glowed that long hot summer with all
the cities burning down
And the stones in the road flew out beneath our
bicycle tires
Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced
each other home
And now we drink our coffee on the run, we climb
that ladder rung by rung
We are the daughters and the sons, and here's the
line that's missing
The starving children have been replaced by souls
out on the street
We give a dollar when we pass, and hope our eyes
don't meet
We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner
suite
We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the
receipt
And the stones in the road fly out from beneath
our wheels
Another day, another deal, before we get back
home
And the stones in the road leave a mark from
whence they came
A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I
don't know
