A Thousand Stories

Song of hope to inspire you.

A thousand stories
By Michelle Morris
02/12/2022

You've been burned before
Far, far too many times
All you want is to be loved
For yourself and your kindness

Your eyes, they show sadness
They could tell a thousand stories
Of love and loss and heartache
Of adventures and loneliness 

Do you think you could
Tell me a story?
Do you think you could
Share your soul?
Do you think you could
Know I'm worthy?
Do you think you could
Lose control?

Come, come now
I see your sorrow
Come, come now
I see your pain
Come, come now
There will be tomorrow
Come, come now
You don't love in vain

So much is unknown
And, so much is our choice
Destiny and Fate laugh at us
While we deliberate with voices

Here I offer you my hand
My friendship is free and clear
I know you've been burned before
But I can feel it all and understand

So, do you think...? Do, you think...?

Do you think you could
Tell me a story?
Do you think you could
Share your soul?
Do you think you could
Know I'm worthy?
Do you think you could
Lose control?

Come, come now
I feel your sorrow
Come, come now
I feel your pain
Come, come now
There will be a new love
Come, come now
You don't hurt in vain

I know you've been burned before
But, please don't lose hope yet
There is goodness waiting for you
Be inspired and feel your blessings

Sometimes things happen this way
To make us stronger for our souls
For the path we have chosen
Creates greatness untold

Come now... Please, please speak to me...
Come now... Embrace your destiny...

Do you think you could
Tell me a story?
Do you think you could
Share your soul?
Do you think you could
Know I'm worthy?
Do you think you could
Lose control?

Come, come now
I know your sorrow
Come, come now
I know your pain
Come, come now
Let's walk together
Come, come now
I will dry your tears

Come, come now
I am your friend
Come, come now
I will be here
Come, come now
There will be a new star
Come, come now
Your true love will be forever
