I Was Made of Stone – Dark Country Gospel for the Hardened & Weathered

Описание: Dark Country Gospel • Outlaw Country Blues • Music for the ones who turned themselves to stone just to survive.
This song is for those who didn’t break —
they hardened.
They endured.
They learned to feel again, slowly.

You don’t have to explain the things that changed you.
Not here.
We already understand.

Lyrics:

The empty roads, the bitter cold,
They chose me, or so I'm told.
Life just taught me not to need
More than these two hands could hold.
I learned to stand through every storm,
As the lightning split the pines—
If you never bend, you never break…
But you never learn to cry.

I thought strength was never bleeding,
Never making myself known—
But iron hearts just rust in silence…
And fire burns through bone.

I was made of stone,
Taught to walk this world alone.
By the nights I held my breath
Just to keep from coming undone.
And the hardest thing I’ve come to know,
Down in the marrow and the soul—
Is the cost of being strong
Is turning into stone.

You came to me like gentle rain,
On these fields of shattered clay.
You offered up a healing warmth,
I just turned and walked away.
I thought loving was surrender,
Surrender was defeat—
So I guarded my own emptiness,
A king in his retreat.

I ain't askin' for forgiveness,
Just a place to lay it down—
These walls I built to save me
Became my prison and my crown.

I was made of stone,
Forged a life to feel alone.
By the days I spent just goin' through the motions,
Numb to the bone.
And the hardest truth I’ve ever found
On this long and weary road—
Is the price of never breakin’
Is never being whole.

Oh, let the thaw come slow,
Let the warm wind find the bone.
If a heart can learn to open,
Let mine learn to be known.

I was made of stone,
But I don’t want to stand alone!
If mercy has a place for me,
I’ll walk the valley home!
And if grace can reach this desert,
Let it shatter this control—
I was made of stone…
But I don’t want to be no more.
