Someday You'll Be A Story

(专辑： The Masquerade - 2010)

Barely asleep when I got the call.
Drove through the night till I made it home.
And in his last few breaths I heard.
Eighty-one years of wisdom learned
Born in the south when the country was down
Somehow found work when no work could be found.
Drafted to war. Eighteen so young.
But when it was through his fight had just begun.

And he said...
You can't find truth without the hurt
You won't know peace without a fight
It always matters how you live your life.

And only time will tell
All of the things you do right now
The love that you've found
Will be passed down to everyone.
Someday you'll be a story to someone.

He found his wife
And she helped him heal
He was her sword and she was his shield.
Tried to make sure the family
Could always endure the pain that life could bring,

And he said...
Don't ever think that you've got time
Cause you can't stop the passing years
So don't ever lose yourself inside your fears

One day I'll have a child of my own
And I'll share the light that I've been shown
And say those words that I was told long ago.

I'll say only time will tell All of the things you do right now
The love that you've found
Will be passed down to everyone
Someday you'll be a story to someone.
