cracks in the stone

CRACKS IN THE STONE
(Theme from the motion picture TRADE OF INNOCENTS)

words and music by Randy Goodrum and Timothy Hosman

verse 1
JUST BEYOND THE SKY
BEYOND THE PLACE WHERE ALL ANGELS LEARN TO FLY
WHERE NO ONE SHEDS A TEAR
HOLD MY HAND AND I WILL TAKE YOU THERE

verse 2
REACH INTO YOUR SOUL
BEYOND YOUR MEMORIES, TRY TO LET THEM GO 
AND WATCH THEM DISAPPEAR
LIKE GHOSTS THAT VANISH INTO THE AIR

chorus
A PAGE IS TURNED, THE STORY BEGINS
THE ROAD TO YOUR PARADISE UNFOLDS
LOVE'S CANDLE BURNS THROUGH STORMS THAT NEVER END
AND LIFE LIVES ON, FROM THE ASHES, REBORN (1st X only)
AS FLOWERS GROW FROM THE CRACKS IN THE STONE

verse 3
FATE HAS SET YOU FREE
TO RECONSTRUCT ALL THE PIECES OF YOUR DREAM
THE FUTURE'S STILL UNCLEAR
BUT WITH EACH STEP YOU TAKE I’LL ALWAYS BE HERE

-repeat chorus-

bridge
PIERCING THE DARKNESS, FLICKERING, BECKONING
LEADING YOU ON
last chorus

A PAGE IS TURNED, THE STORY BEGINS
THE ROAD TO YOUR PARADISE UNFOLDS
SOMEHOW LOVE'S CANDLE BURNS THROUGH STORMS THAT NEVER END
AND FROM THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS
A STRONGER SPIRIT WILL ARISE 
AS FLOWERS GROW FROM THE CRACKS IN THE STONE
