I've heard of the lovely maiden
And the shiny pot of gold
The hero that killed the dragon
And the fall of mighty Rome
I've read the Shakespeare tragedies
And of the first Atlantic flight
Now would anybody, please
Tell me the story of my life?
I've heard of enchanting places
But not the beauty of my home
Alluring hands and faces
But not the power in my own
Tell a tale of mystery
And the adventure that is mine
Please, would anybody please
Tell me the story of my life?
Like a child still awake
Even though the hour's late
I've spent a lifetime open-eared
But not heard what I long to hear
(Bedtime stories in my ears
But still one more I long to hear)
Storyteller, can you spin
The very story I am in?
What is the world afloat in?
Who was it, caused my heart to form?
Was there a promise spoken
On the day that I was born?
What is the spell what makes me free?
Who is the villain I must fight?
Please, can anybody, please
Tell me the story of my life?
Like a child still awake
Even though the hour's late
I've spent a lifetime open-eared
But not heard what I long to hear
(Bedtime stories in my ears
But still one more I long to hear)
Storyteller, can you spin
The very story I am in?
