The Head cornerstone concept I frist heard from this Bob Marley song, but I have since learnt it originates from the Bible.

Context
The Parable of the Wicked Tenants
9"What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.10"Have you not even read this Scripture: 'THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; 11THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES '?"…

The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.
Sing it, brother!
The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.

You're a builder - 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!

The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.
Tell me what!
The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.

Here I am, baby.
I'm a builder's stone.
Don't you pick and refuse me, listen!
The things people refuse,
Are the things they should use.
Do you 'ear me? Hear what I say!

The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.
The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.

I can be soft as a pillow.
Weep like a willow.
Caress and bring happiness.
Don't refuse me, don't you refuse.
Don't, don't, don't you refuse.
