Lyrics

Stone on My Soul

Words and Music by Mark Nesmith

I've got a stone, a stone on my soul

the weight that I bear is taking its toll

After all these years I feel so very old

There's nothing to do, nothing I can do

I'm gonna leave it all up to you

I can't shake loose of the chains that bind me

I can't break free and leave the shackles behind me

It’s been dark so long daylight might blind me

There's nothing to do, nothing I can do

I'm gonna leave it all up to you

            They say prayer, well prayer is the key to Heaven

            and faith, faith will unlock the door

            I need a beacon, I need a light to guide me

            I can't bear the weight of this stone on my soul no more

My heart's been tattered and my skin's worn thin

I don't recognize the man that I'd been

I'll pay the price for the wages of sin

There's nothing to do, nothing I can do

I'm gonna leave it all up to you
