Like A Rock
Stood there rolling, sweating in the sun. Felt like a million, felt like number one. Had a summer, never felt that strong, like a rock. I was eighteen, didn't have a care. Working for peanuts, not a dime to spare. But I was lean, solid everywhere, like a rock. My hands were steady and my eyes were clear and bright. My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light. And I held firm no matter what I felt was right, like a rock. Like a rock, I was strong as I could be. Like a rock, nothing ever got to me. Like a rock, boy I was something to see. Like a rock. And I stood arrow straight, unencumbered by the weight of all these hustlers and their schemes. I stood proud and I stood tall. I was high above it all. I still believed in my dreams. Twenty years now, where did they go? Twenty years, I don't know. Letras de cancionesI sit and I wonder sometimes where they've gone. Sometimes when it's late at night, oh and I'm bathed in the firelight, oh she comes calling, the ghost in white. And I recall her, oh I recall. Like a rock, I was standing there all straight. Like a rock, just in front of the gates. Like a rock, I was carrying that weight. Like a rock. Like a rock with a sun upon my skin. Like a rock, I was hard against the wind. And I see myself again, like a rock. Like a rock. Like a rock. From Letras Mania
