Stone To The River Lyrics - Letting Go - Jennifer Knapp

Can't squeeze blood from a turnip 

And hold my breath blue 

I've waited and waited 

And waited on you 

You do what you want 

I'll do what I can 

I'm trying to keep faith 

In my fellow man 

I have harvested nothing 

By turning to you 

I try and I try 

And I try as I do 

I've buttered my fist 

Trying to keep my own plan 

Oh, the damage I've done 

To my fellow man 

Like a stone to the river 

That cannot be washed to the sea 

They keep building it up 

'Til it's taken enough 

And it breaks a scene 

Yeah, we break a scene 

Well, I know that you want it 

I can see in your face 

It's a desperate reaching 

Trying to trace 

What some call delusion 

That I seen it first time 

That's the whispers of hope 

In my fellow man 

Like a stone to the river 

That cannot be washed to the sea 

They keep building it up 

'Till it's taken enough 

And it breaks the scene 

Can we break the scene? 

Like a stone to the river 

That cannot be washed to the sea 

They keep building it up 

'Til it's taken enough 

And it breaks a scene 

Can we break a scene? 

In the breath of the morning 

Where will you be? 

Waiting and waiting 

Please wait on me 

I know it's not easy 

And I'm sure it's not grand 

When you're trying to keep faith 

In your fellow man
