about

Inspired by speech give by best selling author Pete Early
( www.peteearley.com ) to a group of volunteers . He said "we need more stone catchers" . Wrote it down immediately.

lyrics

Some people throw the stones
Make sure the top stays cleared for their own
Those same folks hold the keys
To most opportunity

Others folks they mean real good
Dont do much but know that they should
When push comes to shove You'll find
most turn run and hide

Life will teach you when your down
The view from above ain't the same underground

We need....
Less people throwing, More people catching stones
Less people wanting more
Less people wanting, more people giving more
More people catching
Catching stones

Most sit by and watch the game
Afraid their glass house can't bare the weight
when masses rest on the weak
Put yourself in line of fate
The other end the stone catchers creed
Help the fallen rise to their feet
When hope seems a lifetime away
Bring healing to the pain.

Life will teach you when your down
The drowning feeling with no one around

We need....
Less people throwing, More people catching stones
Less people wanting more
Less people wanting, more people giving more
More people catching
Catching stones

We need....
Less people throwing, More people catching stones
Less people wanting more
Less people wanting, more people giving more
More people catching
Catching stones
