Man of Stone

[Verse 1: Matthew Thiessen]
The time came when you had to hit the pavement
You grew it like a caveman
Never going clean again
Venturing out on your own

I had to give it to you
I was always acting cuckoo
Thinking there was something
That I'd actually be kinda scared-a
But I will be a man of stone

[Chorus: Thiessen]
Take it down, break it over
Until they fit together
Move the pieces all around
Break it over, from now on
From now on
It’s up to me to set the tone
From now on
I will be a man of stone
From now on

[Verse 2: Thiessen & Ellie Schmidly/Thiessen]
You got your ink
But you think you might have taken it
Too far before forsaking it
You covered up your nakedness
Now all you own is curtain clothes

It’s not a sin when your skin is telling everything
How could you ever lie about
The girls that you were trying out?
Laurie, Laura, Lauren Rose

[Chorus: Thiessen & Schmidly]
Take it down, break it over
Until they fit together
Move the pieces all around
Take it over, from now on
From now on
It’s up to me to set the tone
From now on
I will be a man of stone
From now

[Bridge: Thiessen & Robert Gay]
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
To God and my country

[Outro: Thiessen & Schmidly/Thiessen]
Break it down, take it over
Until they fit together
Move the pieces all around
Take it over, from now on
Break it down, take it over
Until they fit together
Move the pieces all around
Take it over, from now on
From now on
It’s up to me to set the tone
From now on
I will be a man of stone
From now on
It’s up to me to set the tone
From now on
I will be a man of stone
