Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The key-unlocks, the heart and souls, of you and me
Love will love, 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 Love is written, in the stone
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
Why you're not standing tall
In the stone
The light is shining, forever 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, our hearts for us
To keep lies a spark of light that
Never sleeps
The greatest, you've ever known
Yea is written
In the stone
In the stone, you'll find the meaning
Why you're not standing tall
The light is shining, forever touching all
Never, never my darling, never you'll
Be alone, forever, ever my darling
True love is written in the stone
Do you remember the
21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay
Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, golden dreams were shiny days
