🎵 The Beautiful Pebble
(Verse 1)
She walks along the shoreline, eyes cast low
Where the quiet hearts and lost things go
Not chasing diamonds, not fooled by gold
She’s looking for something quiet to hold
A stone not perfect, but weathered and worn
Something honest, something born
Of tide and time, of wind and grace
A gentle strength in a quiet place
(Chorus)
She’s looking for a beautiful pebble
Not polished, not proud, but true
A soul that’s been softened by struggle
Still holding its color through
Not the loudest voice in the ocean’s call
But steady, still, and standing tall
She’s not chasing a throne or a rebel—
She’s just looking for a beautiful pebble
(Verse 2)
Not the kind you show in glass and light
But the one that glows in the hush of night
With edges shaped by storms it faced
And a heart that knows how to wait
He doesn’t shine the way others do
But in his silence, there’s something true
He’s been tossed, he’s been thrown
Still, he’s whole — still, he’s home
(Chorus)
She’s looking for a beautiful pebble
Not perfect, but full of soul
A man who’s been humbled by trouble
And never let go of hope
Not the fire that burns too fast
But the ember meant to last
She’s not chasing the thrill or the devil—
She’s just looking for a beautiful pebble
(Bridge)
And maybe he’s watching her walk that shore
Not knowing she’s what he’s been searching for
Two stones shaped by the same old sea
Quietly waiting… patiently
(Final Chorus)
She’s looking for a beautiful pebble
And maybe he’s out there too
Not polished, not easy to settle
But real, and strong, and true
She’s not asking for more than fate
Just a heart that resonates
Not flashy, not fierce, not a rebel—
Just a man like a beautiful pebble
