You Were Love(d)

Rolling the stone away: grief, defiance, and stubborn hope.
Words & music by Brody Bond · Written June 6, 2022
You just gotta believe me It’s only what you told me That life is hard But there’s truth and hope
It’s a dance with the darkness Chasing shadows chasing us We gotta run from the running Escape the escape
You were loved You were loved Like kindred blood, our souls Rock and roll Our stones away
The only way to live Is to keep on trying To disprove ourselves Validation comes in many forms
Accepting we are accepted isn’t easy It’s a grace that Even though we’re not, we’re still ok
Chorus
You can’t sing with me now Sing with me now All things will be new
You can’t dream with me now Dream with me now Against all that is assumed
You can’t laugh with me now Trade knowing glances with me now Laughing at the gloom
You can’t cry with me now Weep with me now Waiting for this tomb to open, too
You were love And you were loved Like kindred blood, our souls Rock and roll Our stones away
