Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I found the love, provide the key
Unlocks the heart and souls of you and me
Love will learn to sing your song, yeah (Ooh, yeah)
Love is written in the stone
[Verse 2]
Every man I meet, walkin' time
Free to wonder past his conscious mind
Love will come and take you home, yeah
Yeah, love, ah, written in the stone
[Verse 3]
Do you believe, my friend, in what you claim?
People of the world all doubt the same
Bringing questions of their own, yeah (Truth is written in the stone)
Truth is written in the stone
Look in the stone
[Chorus]
In the stone you'll find the meaning
You're not standing tall (It's in the stone)
In the stone, the light is shining
Ever touching all
[Verse 4]
Life experience, a passing day
Time will witness what the old folks say
Getting stronger everyday
Strength is written in the stone (Strength is written in the stone)
[Verse 5]
Deep inside your heart, for you to keep
Lies a spark of light that never sleeps
Greatest love you've ever know
Is written in the stone (Written in the stone)
Look in the stone
[Chorus]
In the stone you'll find the meaning
You're not standing tall (It's in the stone)
In the stone, the light is shining
Ever touching all
[Refrain]
Never, never, my darling
Never, you'll be alone
Never, never, my darling
Never, you'll be alone
Ever, forever, my darling
True love is written in the stone
[Refrain]
Never, never, my darling
Never, you'll be alone
Ever, forever, my darling
True love is written in the stone
[Refrain]
Never, never, my darling
Never, you'll be alone
Ever, forever, my darling
True love is written in the stone
[Outro]
Never
Ever
Written in the stone
Never
Written in the stone
Never
