From the recording Trials and Tribulations
Lyrics
You’re tearing down the walls
The hardest to rebuild
Mindless of the pain,
And heartache that I feel
We made amends before
But, the devil interferes
Embitterment precedes
The sorrow and the tears
Slide that stone down off your spine
And lay it all on the line
Engage, reform, and embrace the time
To rise and shine
Enjoy your fall from grace
It’s easy to descend
While knowing what’s at stake
And continuing that trend
I thought you would evolve
I hoped you would desist
A never-ending turn
The revolution persists
Slide that stone down off your spine
And lay it all on the line
Engage, reform, and embrace the time
To rise and shine
We all know how it goes
We all know how it ends
Resentment as before
An all too familiar friend
So, spread your wings and fly
Take your neck out of the noose
You’d rather try and fail
Than repeatedly fall, and lose
Slide that stone down off your spine
And lay it all on the line
Engage, reform, and embrace the time
To rise and shine
