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 lyrics of Earth Wind & Fire's song In the Stone convey a message of the transformative power of love. The first stanza talks about how love has the ability to unlock the heart and soul of individuals. It emphasizes that love is the key to unexplored emotions and experiences that are found deep within us. By making a reference to "love is written in the stone," it implies the enduring and permanent nature of love, which remains etched in one's being for eternity.
The second and third stanzas of the song focus on the universal and timeless nature of love. The second stanza speaks to the infinite potential of individuals to experience love, and the way it can move them from a state of wandering aimlessly through life to a place of comfort and belonging. In the third stanza, the song turns outwards, addressing the skepticisms of the world and the importance of seeking truth. It concludes that genuine love is an irrefutable and undeniable force that leaves a lasting impact on our souls and is the truth that is "written in the stone."
The chorus of the song reinforces the message of the transformative power of love. It suggests that by looking within ourselves and embracing the light within us, we can find meaning in life and become awakened to new possibilities. Finally, the repetition of the final lines "Never Written in the stone" reinforces the unquestionable and unchallenged permanence of love and its ability to transform us.
