Values Carved in Stone

The house lights blur in a strobe light haze
Just another stop in these restless days

I'm searching past the glitz and the noise tonight
Looking for a soul that burns a steady light

Someone with roots that go deeper than the rain
Someone with roots that go deeper than the rain

A family heart that can handle the strain
Give me something real, give me someone true

A simple life built on a view like you
With values carved in stone and a faith so deep

A bond of respect that we're both gonna keep
No plastic promises

When they speak, honesty
When they speak, honesty

I've seen the hollow icons and the empty stares
But I'm looking for the one who still says her prayers

With a mind that's clear and a heart that's bound
With a mind that's clear and a heart that's bound

To a higher calling and the solid ground
We can build a tower on a floor of grace

And find a sanctuary in this crazy place
Give me something real, give me someone true

A simple life built on a view like you
With values carved in stone and a faith so deep

A bond of respect that we're both gonna keep
No plastic promises

When they speak, honesty
When they speak, honesty

It's not just a season, it's not just a feeling
It's the work of two hearts for a lifetime of healing

In the quiet of the morning, in the heat of the race
I'm finding my purpose, I'm finding my place

I'm finding my place
No more shadows

No more ghosts
Give me something real, give me someone true

A simple life built on a view like you
With values carved in stone and a faith so deep

A bond of respect that we're both gonna keep
No plastic promises

When they speak, honesty
When they speak, honesty

Yeah, building something solid
Moving toward the light

God bless the journey tonight
Journey tonight
