Cast The First Stone

from And the Rainbirds Sang by Frances Smith

/

lyrics

She found me on the edge of the world
looking down and wondering
she said did you know me when I lived
with someone else's power
did you know me when I laid
down, and cried at lies showered
upon me by the crowd

She found me walking through the fog of war
where the buildings burned for ever more
this is where I lay, she said
when the gaze of cruelty was upon me
I see you here now wandering
what cruel eyes could create this
and the judgment of those safe anonymous

Chorus

I thought I saw you there
I thought I heard your voice
I thought you were waiting in line
along with everyone else
to cast the first stone

She found me lying in the wreckage
see how you destroyed yourselves
she said everyone has done some wrong
but you turned the world upside down
proving that it wasn't you, but it was me
and you all stood, as I lay dead
but the crowd that attacked are fallen now

repeat chorus
