Lyrics

Thank The Stone (by Judy Kass, Glen Roethel)

Sometimes we’re thrown a curveball
That muddies up the field
Life can come unraveled
Plans can come unpeeled
No one welcomes trouble
No one likes to fall
No one likes to stumble
When were trying to give it all
When you’re face down in the gravel
Picking pebbles from your teeth
It’s hard to see the treasure shining
Up from down beneath
You’ve got to thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that took you down
You’ve got to thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that tripped you
That’s the stone that turned your life around
Some days I sit in shadows
Some days I chase the light
The path I choose to follow
Isn’t always right
So I’m grateful when a detour
Offers me a pause
A gift of imperfection
With beauty in the flaws
You’ve got to thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that tripped and took you down
You’ve got to thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that tripped you
That’s the stone that turned your life around
When you don’t see it coming
And it knocks you off your feet
The stone that brought you to your knees
Might be just what you might need
You’ve got to thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that tripped and took you down
You’ve got to thank the stone that tripped you
Thank the stone that tripped you
That’s the stone that turned your life
