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
