EVERY ONE OF US IS LOVE

THERE ARE STONES ON AARON MOUNTAIN
THEY STAND LIKE STEEPLES EVERYWHERE
THEY ARE CHAPELS FOR THE HOMELESS
RESTLESS SOULS WHO WALK UP THERE

I TAKE MY TROUBLES TO THE MOUNTAIN
BY THOSE STONES I FIND SOME PEACE
IN THE SHADOWS OF THE GRANITE
I FEEL THOSE SPIRITS LIFTING ME

I SEE WOMEN WHO’VE LOST THEIR WAY
I SEE MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
I SEE CHILDREN WHO’VE BEEN FORGOTTEN
I SEE THEM ALL WITHOUT MY EYES

THEY PASS THROUGH ME LIKE MY HARD TIMES
THEY FADE AWAY LIKE TROUBLE DOES
THEY REMIND ME I’M NOT HERE LONG
AND EVERY ONE OF US IS LOVE

I TOOK MY MOTHER TO THE MOUNTAIN
I HELD HER ASHES IN MY HAND
I SET HER FREE I SAW HER SMILING
IN THAT CHAPEL UPON THE LAND

I TAKE MY TROUBLES TO THE MOUNTAIN
BY THOSE STONES I FIND SOME PEACE
IN THE SHADOWS OF THE GRANITE
I FEEL THOSE SPIRITS LIFTING ME

THEY PASS THROUGH ME LIKE MY HARD TIMES
THEY FADE AWAY LIKE TROUBLE DOES
THEY REMIND ME I’M NOT HERE LONG
AND EVERY ONE OF US IS LOVE
EVERY ONE OF US IS LOVE
EVERY ONE OF US IS LOVE
