Corner Stone Lyrics
[Hook: Bob Marley & The Wailers]
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone, (sing it brother)
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone
[Verse 1: Bob Marley]
You're a builder, baby
Here I am, a stone
Don't you think and refuse me
Cause the things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say
[Hook]
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone, (tell me why)
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone
[Verse 2: Bob Marley]
Here I am baby
I'm a builder's stone
Don't you think and refuse me, listen
The things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone, (sing it brother)
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone
[Verse 1: Bob Marley]
You're a builder, baby
Here I am, a stone
Don't you think and refuse me
Cause the things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say
[Hook]
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone, (tell me why)
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone
[Verse 2: Bob Marley]
Here I am baby
I'm a builder's stone
Don't you think and refuse me, listen
The things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say
[Hook]
(The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone) x2
The stone that the builder refuse (I can be soft as a pillow)
Will always be the head cornerstone (weep like a willow)
The stone that the builder refuse (courage)
Will always be the head cornerstone (brings happiness, don't refuse me)
The stone that the builder refuse (don't you refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (don't you, don't you, don't you)
(The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone) x2
The stone that the builder refuse (I can be soft as a pillow)
Will always be the head cornerstone (weep like a willow)
The stone that the builder refuse (courage)
Will always be the head cornerstone (brings happiness, don't refuse me)
The stone that the builder refuse (don't you refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (don't you, don't you, don't you)
