Gather ’Round the Stone Songtext
von Ben Harper

Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
You′re too young to know that you're too young to go
There's no freedom to be found lying face up in the ground

I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone
Ashes from an unfinished life are all that's left
In a tear-drop-shaped locket hanging from his mother′s chest


I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone
I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone

You whip the back of freedom 'til it bleeds an oil stream
Then you sail down upon it in your killing machine
I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone

Old men who send children off to die in vain
They will hear death′s constant whisper call remember my name
I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone


Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone"
I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather ′round the stone
