The Flower That Shattered The Stone Lyrics

The Earth is our mother just turning around
With her trees in the forest and roots underground
Our Father above us whose sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow without any end

[Chorus]
As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children a pure love still grows
Like a bright star in Heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone

Sparrows find freedom beholding the Sun
In the infinite beauty we're all joined in one
I reach out before me and look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper, did something pass by?

As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children a pure love still grows
Like a bright star in Heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Like a bright star in Heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone

Cover art for The Flower That Shattered The Stone lyrics by John Denver

This does not help at all! I wanted to kow if maybe there was a story, a fable or such, that would offer an explanation for the line that was used in the song, 'Like the flower that shattered the stone'. Or were they just all high at the time and it sounded good and rhymed, so that was it?
