ABOUT THE SONG

Stories in Stone explores the experience of encountering ancient markings — petroglyphs, teachings, symbols — and realizing you’re in the presence of something far older and wiser than yourself. The song approaches these carvings with respect, acknowledging that they hold memory, meaning, and truth that time could never erase.

Messages Carved in Time

The opening verses reflect on how hands from long ago carved circles, symbols, and stories into stone. These markings aren’t just art — they’re memory, prayer, and teaching, preserved by the land itself.

Learning From What Remains

Standing before the stone becomes an act of listening. Every line is a lifetime. Every symbol is intention. The earth refused to let these stories disappear, and the song honours that resilience.

The Heart of the Chorus

The chorus captures the central message:
These stories existed long before us, and they will remain long after we’re gone. We’re just witnesses passing through, learning what we can with humility.

The Voices Within the Stone

The third verse widens the lens — some carvings speak of water, sky, journeys, sorrow, joy. The stones hold the full spectrum of human experience, reminding us that history is alive beneath our feet.

A Promise of Respect

The bridge acknowledges that interpretation isn’t ours to claim. Instead, the song chooses quiet respect — letting the truth stand, recognizing that the land remembers everything, and honouring the stories that endure.

Stories in Stone is a gentle, reverent tribute to the past, a moment of reflection in the present, and a reminder that some teachings are carved deep enough to outlast time.
