Asked by the door to get to heaven
Seven trumpets big and bright
You hear it coming in the middle of the night
A caution to the children
Time to turn your crimson white
We've all got reservations
Trials will come suddenly
And without explanation
But you were born with goodness
You were born with goodness wherever you go
I'm right behind you in the light of hope
I'll be beside you on that dusty road
And if you get blind, well that's alright
Wicked winds blow with grace and might
Cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone
Break your word over me
Sinking in the quicksand
Break your word, but don't you see
You're breaking me down now?
I'm right behind you in the light of hope
I'll be beside you on that dusty road
When no one expects you to deny
And no one accepts your reasons why
You cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone
No one expects you to deny
And no one accepts your reasons why
You cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone
Seven trumpets big and bright
You hear it coming in the middle of the night
A caution to the children
Time to turn your crimson white
We've all got reservations
Trials will come suddenly
And without explanation
But you were born with goodness
You were born with goodness wherever you go
I'm right behind you in the light of hope
I'll be beside you on that dusty road
And if you get blind, well that's alright
Wicked winds blow with grace and might
Cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone
Break your word over me
Sinking in the quicksand
Break your word, but don't you see
You're breaking me down now?
I'm right behind you in the light of hope
I'll be beside you on that dusty road
When no one expects you to deny
And no one accepts your reasons why
You cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone
No one expects you to deny
And no one accepts your reasons why
You cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone

'When you touch the stone' I think is the person visiting his gravestone and clinging on to his memory through their grief. When Flowers says 'No-one expects you to deny and, and no-one accepts your reasons why' i think hes talking about how other people expect the person to move on, and don't see why they keep clinging to his memory.
That's me done, sorry if i bored you. But it's an amazing song :)
I thought this song was a great inspiration for both.
Most of Flamingo's album is orientated towards his faith and beliefs. I don't know much about his beliefs, but the Mormons are well known for sticking for each other. They're a solid community. There's definitely a sense of momonism in his album to be fair. I don't mind it, I like his songs and admire him.
"No one expects you to deny/
And no one accepts your reasons why/
you cling to the ways of my name."
It so brilliantly describes how people respect the fact that he has certain beliefs, but they refuse to see just how much his beliefs mean to him and that in all circumstances, he holds fast to what he believes.
haha what could "when you touch the stone" mean?
This interpretation makes sense to me, because he also talks about the narrator being behind him on the "dusty road," and breaking his word over the narrator, like when Moses brings forth water.
