If We Don't Stop

 

Sticks and Stones - Art of Play

If We Don't Stop

If we don't stop

From time to time

Pick up stones

And put them in a line

Then a circle

Or a pile

Or move'm around

For just a little while

If we don't stop

We're gonna break down

Take some time

Move some stones around

If we don't stop

And go down to the water

Take our sisters and brothers

Sons and daughters

And splash about

Or also swim

Just dip our toes

Or go all the way in

If we don't stop

We're going to get hurt

Lay yourself down

ride out in the surf

If we don't stop

And walk into the woods

And remember it's here

That it's also good

Hold a leaf

Watch a little bug

Find a big old tree

A give'r a big old hug

If we don't stop

We will end up alone

Because we can't know where we are

Until we find our way home
