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, 45's

Every sunset in the sky

Carry with you maps and string, flashlights

Friends who make you sing

And 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

Everbody'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
