This is Your Story
(2014)

This song began with the title and unfolded from there.

Here are the lyrics:

Look around, see the sights, hear the sounds.
This is how your world appears –
Everything has brought you here.
There’s always further to go, if you want to grow –
Always more love to know,
As you turn the page, through every age:

This is your story, this is your story,
Rejection or glory, this is your story.

Somewhere deep in your soul,
You know you got the starring role.
And whatever you do, all of this revolves round you.
Like a TV show – actors come and go,
How the story ends you just don't know.
You may not like the plot, but it’s all you’ve got –
This is your story.

How did it come to be? It’s such a mystery,
And when I look at you I see another me.
Can we find a key to set us free?
How do we learn to let it be?
Watch it all unfold, let it all be told –
Pay your debts and never forget this is your story.

So here you are, you’ve made it down the road this far.
Take it in, take a bow – you made it through somehow.
So you’ve made mistakes, give yourself a break –
There’s always another take.
Face it all with pride and enjoy the ride –

This is your story, this is your story,
Rejection or glory, this is your story.

Well it’s kind of strange, the only constant is change.
Future to present to past, everything changing so fast.
You can scream and shout, but there ain’t no doubt –
One day they’re gonna write you out,
So play your part, with all your heart –

This is your story, this is your story,
Rejection or glory, this is your story.
