STONE | Bonnie Legion & Morktra
Sometimes a song finds you.
Stone began when I discovered Morktra's improvised acoustic looper performance, Improvised Acoustic Looper Guitar Journey | Drifting, Untethered, and Searching Through Sound. As I listened, I began hearing words within the music. What started as inspiration became a complete song, with lyrics and melodies emerging naturally from the journey his guitar created.
A heartfelt thank you to Morktra for creating the original improvised performance that inspired this piece.

STONE
I see the war behind your eyes,
The way you stand, the way you hide.
You speak in silence, hold the line,
Like breaking down would be a crime.
You wear your strength like it's your skin,
But I can feel the shake within.
You don't have to stay that way,
You don't have to walk in pain.
Lay down your armor for a while,
You don't have to wear it now.
Come sit with me inside the fire,
Let it fall to the ground.
I won't turn away from you,
Even when the night comes through.
You don't have to fight alone,
You don't have to turn to stone.
I see the boy you left behind,
Still calling out from deeper time.
Every wound you couldn't show,
Every place you couldn't go.
You learned to carry, not to feel,
To close a door and make it steel.
But something softer still remains,
Underneath the weight and chains.
Lay down your armor for a while,
You don't have to wear it now.
Come sit with me inside the fire,
Let it fall to the ground.
I won't turn away from you,
Even when the night comes through.
You don't have to fight alone,
You don't have to turn to stone.
Thank you for listening.
