The Heaviest Stone - Beau

They gave me soil and a measureful of sand

But it ran between the fingers of my hand

And it's been that way since life at first began

The heaviest stone that the Devil could throw at Man

They gave me water from a falling mountain stream

And a sense to both imagine and to dream

But there were holes around the bottom of the can

The heaviest stone that the Devil could throw at Man

They gave me seas and the wide desert sand

And the hardest and the driest of land

But the storms overcame my caravan

The heaviest stone that the Devil could throw at Man

They gave me bread and a forest full of meat

And a fire in the shelter for heat

But the flood took the flame from the pan

The heaviest stone that the Devil could throw at Man

They gave me strength and the will to survive

They stoned me but still I'm alive

And in the end I understood their plan

The heaviest stone that the Devil could throw at Man

And in the end I understood their plan

The heaviest stone that the Devil could throw at Man
