My Story

I hit the road give or take twenty years ago
Somewhere down the line I learned how to flow
Verbalize what I saw as I travelled the globe
I would tell a lot of stories, but never my own
I guess I figured it was not that interesting
And shit, who would even be listening?
That's when I realized I am not that different from you
And you are not that different from me
Don't you see?
Only thing different is the scenery
In between our ears we got the same machinery
We all laugh, we all cry
We all love, we all lust
We all die in our lifetimes
So what is it makes it all special?
It's the ones you walk next to
The only folks who'll ever know how it is your story really goes

My story can't be told
Nope, no it can't
But why don't you walk along & take a chance
Flip a coin, find out where it lands
There's some things that you wouldn't understand
But for better or worse they made me who I am
C'mon & take a chance
Forget about the past, cause the future's in your hands

They'll try to put you in boxes
Got you feeling like you're running out of options
Truth is, that is nothing but some nonsense
Take a walk with me, baby we got this
We can march to our own beat
Whether sand, cement, or grass underneath
Side by side for each step
Take it all in with two deep breathes
I can't wait for what's next, no I really can't
Gotta take a chance
Throw away your plans
Rise above your circumstance
That's where it starts to get crazy
Realize these story tellers are lazy
The script is much more fluid
You can do what you want, you just do it
But it's a lonely road and I walk alone
So I'd love it if you'd take a stroll

My story can't be told
Nope, no it can't
But why don't you walk along & take a chance
Flip a coin, find out where it lands
There's some things that you wouldn't understand,
But for better or worse they made me who I am
C'mon & take a chance
Forget about the past, cause the future's in your hands

So what's it gonna be?
Will you roll the dice or just wait and see?
Can you take that step?
Do you worry what's next?
I'd rather be bold, cause from now until I'm old
