On the black rock is where i spend my time 
writing a memory or writing a rhyme 
thinking about what is right or wrong 
On the black rock is where i like to go 
After a long night comin home from our show 
thats where i write my song all day long 
the black rock (maryland, that is) 

Sometimes, i just look around 
taking the feeling coming out from the ground 
thats just something i do sometimes 
and then i just come out the door 
taking the wind coming off of the shore 
and thats just what im doing tonight 

On the black rock is where i spend my time 
writing a memory or writing a rhyme 
thinking about what is right or wrong 
On the black rock is where i like to go 
After a long night comin home from the show 
thats where i write my song all day long 
the black rock, yeah, yeah, yeah 

When you are on your own 
not speaking out is like fighting alone 
and that is the worst damn way to fight 
and when you are scared no more 
you reach your hand out and just open my door 
and thats just what we're doing tonight, yeah! 

On the black rock is where i spend my time 
writing a memory or writing a rhyme 
thinking about what is right or wrong 
On the black rock is where i like to go 
After a long night comin home from MY show 
thats where i write my song all day long 
the black rock 

About one, maybe two, three, four, five, years ago 
when i lived my days full of confusion, as you know 
This comes and goes, but it leaves me upset all the time 
Oh how i was ready to do anything that was wrong 

And i was looking for an answer to just one of these questions here 
So i went to this riverside to find my head so clear 
And i saw this old man sitting on a big black rock 
I said "what's your name?" 

He said "i'm old man time and my son, 
well i've been waiting for you for long. 
you see that i can see your vapors that are growing in you strong. 
and i can see that you are hurt 
and i can see that you are so vain 
but you must listen to this thing i say 
and live to it all again 
you must lose that anger 
lose all that hate, it ain't gonna work no more 
i said this world is run by love and absolutely nothing more." 

So i laid down all my pain, and i got rid of my hate 
And i'd love to get away 
And the black rock is where i'll stay 
We all have a black rock, its in our minds 
And i go there all the time 
Its the black rock
