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
