[Verse 1]
When we were young, we pledged allegiance
Every morning of our lives
Classroom rang with children's voices
Under teacher's watchful eyes
We learned about the world around us
At our desks and at dinnertime
Reminded of the starving children
Cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[Chorus]
Stones in the road
Played like marbles in the dust
'Til a voice called to us
To make our way back home
Stones in the road
[Verse 2]
When I was ten, my father held me
On his shoulders above the crowd
To see a train draped in mourning
Pass slowly through our town
His widow kneeled with all their children
At the sacred burial ground
The TV glowed that long hot summer
With all the cities burning down
When we were young, we pledged allegiance
Every morning of our lives
Classroom rang with children's voices
Under teacher's watchful eyes
We learned about the world around us
At our desks and at dinnertime
Reminded of the starving children
Cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[Chorus]
Stones in the road
Played like marbles in the dust
'Til a voice called to us
To make our way back home
Stones in the road
[Verse 2]
When I was ten, my father held me
On his shoulders above the crowd
To see a train draped in mourning
Pass slowly through our town
His widow kneeled with all their children
At the sacred burial ground
The TV glowed that long hot summer
With all the cities burning down
