Stone by Stone Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Stone by Stone
I constructed a cathedral
Stone by stone
Built it up and wrecked it down
Stone by stone
Everyone is looking to wear the crown
Stone by stone
Even thought they got it all

(Chorus)
It's getting on to you
Can I pleed to give the strength below
You called me out to lead me on
I'm ready
Please forgive

(Verse 2)
I'm running a marathon of glass shoes
I'm hiding behind windows
Stone by stone
Weather headed up or down
Stone by stone
Always looking never found
Stone by stone
Even though they got it all

(Chorus)

Oooooooh
Oooooohh
Oooooohh,
Ooooooh
Ooooooo
Ooooooo

(Bridge instrumental)

(Chorus x2)

I'm running a marathon of glass shoes
I'm hiding behind windows
Stone by stone
Build it up and watch it fall

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

just outstanding...i think it's about inner strength and how you have to realize it within yourself and not to rely on some musician or anyone else, because they're also human beings.

by the way: as far as i know this song only has been released via the german magazine VISIONS
