Like A Rock

Stood there boldly Sweating in the sun Felt like a million Felt like number one Height of summer Never felt that strong Like a rock I was eighteen Didn't have a care Working for peanuts Not a dime to spare But I was lean And solid everywhere Like a rock My hands were steady My eyes were clear and bright My walk had purpose My steps were quick and light And I held firmly To what I felt was right Like a rock Like a rock I was strong as I could be Like a rock Nothing ever got to me Like a rock Boy, I was something to see Like a rock And I stood arrow straight Unencumbered by the weight Of all these hustlers and their schemes I stood proud and I stood tall I was high above it all I still believed in my dreams Twenty years now Where did they go? Twenty years I don't know I sit and I wonder sometimes Where they've gone Mmm, and sometimes when it's late at night Oh, and I'm bathed in the firelight The moon she comes calling, a ghostly white And I recall Oh, I recall Like a rock I was standing arrow straight Like a rock Charging from the gate Like a rock I was carrying that weight Like a rock Oh, like a rock With the sun upon my skin Like a rock I was hard against the wind And I see myself again Like a rock Like a rock Like a rock
