Lyrics:
They look like holy symbols,
People blameless and so wise
prophets with mystic visions
Men and women here to bring us light

But the saints who seem so perfect
Were full of sin like you and I
Meek and frail, and full of questions,
They just made a sacrifice

Chorus I:
When I read, the stones will cry out
I think I finally understand
We are those empty vessels
When we do things we cant comprehend

When saints speak the truthful word,
Its their voice but they had no hand
Because then the stones have spoken,
They have spokendespite the flaws of mortal men
__________________________
Mother Teresa
knew the ending of the game
Her hands were always dirty,
And it was man who gave her fame

And other saints in history
We place upon the pedestal
Because if we admit their weakness
We might be called to join and help

Chorus II:
When I read the stones will cry out
I think I finally understand
We are those empty vessels,
When we are called to lend a hand

Because rocks are insignificant
So are we if we look around
But when we serve, the stones have spoken
They have spokenHis work makes a mighty sound

_______________BRIDGE:
We made them into saints
So great and strong and true;
But if history is accurate,
They were as ordinary as me and you
_____________________________
People come and people go,
Like the stones on the ocean floor
Millions of them waiting
For the chance to run ashore

About as soon as its started,
We see the tide that were against
What if helping the stones around us
is the key to our significance?

Chorus II

Stones Cry Out
