Stories Told
Give us today our daily bread
Are words from a prayer we’ve said
Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray our Lord our souls we keep
Never rest your head on an angry word
Is something that your mother heard
It is not goodbye it's see you soon
Bad luck is to come when you see a full moon
These are tales that have been passed down
Just like your little christening gown
You know you have at least said one
Just think about it I found it fun
Who thought them first and paper found
I know my mother passed them down
So each and every thing we say
Just might be passed down one day
Children's ears will tell the tale
So tell them stories and tell them well
For some day soon your words you will hear
Come from someone you hold so dear
