"Roll Away Your Stone" LYRICS (altered version below in capitals)

Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul
This is for AYUDH and friends!
"Roll Away Your Stone" LYRICS (altered version below in capitals)
GUITAR TAB here
(starts with gentle ho down, dancing could happen here)
Roll away your PRIDE, I'll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don't leave me alone at this time
For I'M afraid of what I will discover inside
Together we can see what we will find
Don't leave me alone at this time
For I'M afraid of what I will discover inside
(short fast HO DOWN)
Cause you told me that I would find a HOME
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while my character it steals
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I'VE SEEN
Cause you told me that I would find a HOME
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while my character it steals
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I'VE SEEN
(short fast HO DOWN)
It seems that all my bridges have been burnt
But you say that's exactly how this grace thing works
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with the restart
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I'VE SEEN
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I've seen
(longer HO DOWN)
It seems that all my bridges have been burnt
But you say that's exactly how this grace thing works
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with the restart
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I'VE SEEN
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I've seen
(longer HO DOWN)
Stars hide your fires
These here are my desires
And I WILL give them up to you this time around
And so I'll be found
With my stake stuck in the ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul
hide your fires
These here are my desires
And I WILL give them up to you this time around
These here are my desires
And I WILL give them up to you this time around
And so I'll be found
With my stake stuck in the ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul
But I, I'VE gone too far this time
I have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to keep this soul that is so rightfully Thine.

The process couldn't wait
You can not judge by the outer appearance; it's what's inside that counts.
Although there may be subtle indicators if u pay attention, soft spots.

Words
The 19th Century poet, Emily Dickenson, once wrote,
“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word.
Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.”
The power of language is indeed undeniable, and most people on this planet certainly aren’t shy about using words to express themselves. A recent study found that each person speaks an average of over 15,000 words per day!
Typically, we speak in order to meet our physical and emotional needs and fulfill our material desires. We order food, talk to coworkers, tell jokes and complain when things don’t go our way. Thus, speaking often stimulates thought, reinforces our extroverted tendencies and draws us into the world.
