Everybody Has A Story

they said you didn’t have anything to say

and you almost believed them

but you spoke out anyway

and when you were old enough to leave them

you went out on the drift

and you found out soon enough

that the ties they bound you with

were pretty flimsy stuff

everybody has a story

you might not think you do

find someone to tell it to

and it will come alive

the heroes of their fantasy

they flashed across the skies

but they were hollow and you knew it

you could see through their disguise

somebody had to tell it

people had the right to know

and once you found the language

the words began to flow

everybody has a story

you might not think you do

find someone to tell it to

and it will come alive

you never knew you had it in you

you thought you were alone

but out among the multitudes

your confidence has grown

now your voice is like a beacon

calling to the ears

of those who care to listen

through their sorrow and their tears

everybody has a story

you might not think you do

find someone to tell it to

and it will come alive

someone holds the reigns of

the regimental horse

and someone leads the blind

along the suicidal concourse

it’s within their best interest

to keep you weak and small

your voice is their nemesis

your story is their downfall

everybody has a story

you might not think you do

find someone to tell it to

and it will come alive

everybody has a story

you might not think you do

find someone to tell it to

and it will come alive
