In The Stone
Earth/Wind/Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unlocks the heart and souls of you and me
Love will learn to sing your song
Love is written in the stone
Every man, I meet is walking time
Free to wander, past his conscious mind
Love will come and take you home
Do you believe, my friend, in what you claim
People of the world, all doubt the same
Bringing questions of their own
Truth is written in the stone
In the stone, you'll find the meaning
You're not standing tall
In the stone the light is shining
Ever touching all
Life experience a passing day
Time will witness, what the ole folks say
Getting stronger every day
Strength is written in the stone
Deep inside your hearts for you to keep
Lies a spark of light that never sleeps
The greatest love you've ever known
Yeah is written in the stone
In the stone, you'll find the meaning
You're not standing tall
In the stone the light is shining
Ever touching all
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
Never, never my darling, never you'll be alone
Ever forever my darling
True love is written in the stone
Never, never my darling, never you'll be alone
Ever forever my darling
True love is written in the stone
Never
Ever
Written in the stone
Never
Written in the stone
Never
The Earth/Wind/Fire song "In The Stone" is a poetic portrayal of love and its impact on humanity, the world, and the individual being. The opening lines, "I found that love provides the key, Unlocks the heart and souls of you and me," suggest that love is the foundation of human connection and understanding, and that it helps us unlock our deepest emotions and desires. The song also explores the idea that love is written in eternal forms, like stone or truth, that continue to exist throughout time, just like the love that's disseminated through their connections.
The lyrics later ask the question, "Do you believe, my friend, in what you claim? People of the world, all doubt the same, Bringing questions of their own, Truth is written in the stone." The idea presented here is that although we all have different beliefs, doubt, and questions, there are universal truths that we can all share and understand. The chorus reinforces the idea that in the stone, you'll find the meaning and that love, and the light of love, are constantly shining and touching all.
Overall, the song suggests that love is a powerful force that is always present if we are willing to see it. It also reminds us that we are all connected, and that by embracing love, we can understand and enjoy the richness of human experience.
