D-DU-UDU

They came all the way from Tennessee

And I know how you'd hate to let them down

But I'd been thinking 'bout the times his hands deceived us

And wondering why you ever stuck around

You were born a fair hair child of the valley.

Though at times felt you were tethered to the ground

You're not a stone

I came to know the names of all my neighbours

Made a home in a valley of my heart

And I took a night the audience with strangers

Though not one could ever calm me down

And I felt alone

Just flesh and bone

- - - x4

And I came home to find you at my table

Said the worries that had plagued you now were few

And I'd been wondering if I had the strength to face it

Son If I've found mercy surely you can too

But you're not a stone

You're not a stone

Just flesh and bone

Now you hold the hand of one who named you

Turn to me and said you must make these words your own

- - - repeat till finish
