Michelangelo, they say Had a way of thinking When that block of marble Stood before his eyes He didn't see a rock That needed to be tamed Instead he knew a work of art Was waiting there inside So he chipped away, patient and slow And he found David hiding in the stone
Now I know you have your reasons For the distance that you keep 'Cause love's been less than tender And your heart still bears the scars So you keep it tucked away Safely out of reach And always leave me wondering Who you really are So I'll chip away, patient and slow Until I find what's hiding in the stone I don't want to change you That's not what love's about I just want to be there When the truth comes out
So I'll chip away, patient and slow Until I find what's hiding in the stone
