Lyrics

Like A Rock

Stood there boldly
Sweatin’ in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I’d never felt that strong
Like a rock

I was eighteen
Didn’t have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock

My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock

Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin’ ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams

Twenty years now
Where’d they go?
Twenty years
I don’t know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they’ve gone

And sometimes late at night
When I’m bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin’ a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall

Like a rock. standin’ arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin’ from the gate
Like a rock, carryin’ the weight
Like a rock

Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock

Prevod na srpski

Kao stena

Stojao sam tamo hrabro
Na suncu se znojao
Sjajno se osećao
Kao prvak se osećao
Usred leta
Nikad se tako jakim nisam osećao
Kao stena

Osamnaest sam imao
Bezbrižan sam bio
Za siću radio
Ni pare mi nije ostajalo
Ali bio sam mršav
i čvrst
Kao stena

Ruke si mi bile mirne
Oči bistre i svetle
Moj korak imao je smisao
Moj hod brz i lak je bio
I čvrsto sam se držao
Onoga što sam ispravnim smatrao
Kao stena

Kao stena, bio sam jak, da jači biti nisam mogao
Kao stena,
Kao stena, bio sam za primer
Kao stena

I stojao sam kao strela pravo
Neopterećenem težinom
Svih ovih muljatora i njihovih šema
Stojao sam ponosno
Iznad svega se uzdizao
Još u svoje snove verovao

Dvadeset je leta prošlo
Gde li se delo?
Dvadeset leta
Ne bih znao
Ponekad sedim i pitam se
Gde godine nestadoše

A ponekad kasno uveče
Kad sam okupan svetlošću vatre
Mesec prizove avetinjsko belilo
I sećam se
Sećam se

Kao stena, stojeći kao strela pravo
Kao stena, puneći se na izvoru*
Kao stena, noseći težinu
Kao stena

Kao stena, sunce na mojoj koži
Kao stena, čvrst protiv vetra
Kao stena, vidim sebe ponovo
Kao stenu
