[Verse 1]
He went down to the brook in the valley of the plain
He chose him five smooth stones from the running of the rain
Not one stone for glory — he prepared for what remained
Four brothers in the shadow of the giant's long campaign
He put them in his shepherd's bag and took his sling in hand
A boy against the armor of the mightiest in the land
They said — wait for permission — wait for the army's call
But covenant does not ask permission of the ones who fall
[Chorus]
Five smooth stones from the brook
That is all it took
Not the sword — not the spear — not the strength of many men
Five smooth stones from the brook
And the faith to look
At the forehead of the giant and release — and strike — and then
[Verse 2 ]
But our giant wears five shields upon his armored face
The first: he writes the story — he controls the only space
The second: he has lawyers and the law is on his side
The third: he owns the wires and the networks where we hide
The fourth: he holds the money and the bread upon the shelf
The fifth — the deepest shield of all — he lives inside yourself
So one stone cannot reach him — and one strike will fall short
Five shields need five stones — five operations — five cohorts
[Chorus]
Five smooth stones from the brook
It's all it took
Not the sword — not the spear — not the strength of many men
Five smooth stones — five hands — five communities took
On the giant's every layer — will you release — and strike — and then
[Bridge]
Stone one — speak the truth — archive — distribute — let it run
Stone two — use the law — every right that they have won
Stone three — build the grid — off their wires — off their sun
Stone four — plant the seed — feed your people — every one
Stone five — free the mind — cut the chains that came undone
One by one — stone by stone — until the forehead's bare — until the work is done
From South Africa rising — from every direction
The remnant has gathered — without central command
One community begins — then ten — then ten times ten
The valley does not ask you — it simply calls you — come
[Verse 3]
I know you've read the document and felt the weight of it
I know the giant's armor seemed to cover every bit
I know the army's frozen at the edge of what they've seen
I know you're calculating safety that will never come to be
David did not calculate — he entered for the Name
He was protected not because he played it safe — because he came
The giant falls not when we're stronger — when his ground runs dry
When no one gives their fear — he falls beneath his own supply
[Final Chorus ]
Five smooth stones from the brook
That is all it took
Not the sword — not the spear — but the stones and the sling and the LORD
Five smooth stones — five communities — open the book —
"The battle is the Lord's" — He will give them — into our hands
Five smooth stones from the brook
[Outro ]
The battle — is the Lord's
The valley — is before us
The stones — are in our hands
And the remnant — enters the field
The battle — is the Lord's
No weapon — formed against us — shall prosper
The stones — are in our hands
And the remnant — enters — the field
