Your Life Story

Maybe love is all anybody ever should believe in
Maybe life is just something that employs us 'till we die
Maybe all we know is that the sun will come up every morning
Maybe time can choose whether to be earthbound or to fly

Everybody thinks they've got it down
I won't worry
The truth's always been found
In your life story

Maybe you're the one waiting for the ship to find your harbor
Maybe you're the one looking past the forest to the trees
Maybe you still think
The older that you get life just gets harder
Maybe you would trade everything for just one moment's peace

Everybody strains to hear the sound
Of their heart's calling,now
You can write yours down
It's your life story

Gather up your telegrams,your faded pictures, best laid plans
Books and postcards, fourty-five's
Every sunset in the sky

Carry with you maps and string flashlights friends who make you singing
Stars to help you find your place,music, hope and amazing grace

Maybe what we leave is nothing but a tangled little mystery
Maybe what we take is nothing that has ever had a name
Maybe love will fade like the parchment pages of our history
Maybe life is made of flickers from some brilliant, burnished flame

Everybody's waiting for a sign
I won't worry, I think we'll be just fine
In your life story
It's your life story
And my life story
This is our life story
In your life story
