[00:00.00] 作词 : Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:28.80]When we were young, we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives
[00:35.73]The classroom rang with children's voices under teacher's watchful eye
[00:42.81]We learned about the world around us at our desks and at dinnertime
[00:49.86]Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[00:56.97]And the stones in the road we played like marbles in the dust
[01:04.17]Until a voice called for us to make our way back home
[01:16.20]When I was ten, my father held me on his shoulders above the crowd
[01:23.34]To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly through our town
[01:30.45]His widow kneeled with all her children at the sacred burial ground
[01:37.02]The TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down
[01:44.46]And the stones in the road flew out from our bicycle tires
[01:51.81]Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced each other home
[02:17.01]And now we drink our coffee on the run and climb that ladder rung by rung
[02:24.39]We are the daughters and the sons and here's the line that's missing...
[02:31.89]The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street
[02:38.34]We give a dollar when we pass and hope our eyes don't meet
[02:45.90]We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner suite
[02:52.35]We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the receipt
[03:09.84]And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came
[03:21.24]A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I don't know
[03:25.98]Stones in the road
