Give Us a Story

Man: Here in my arms, reflections of my face
For you i’ve made the world a better place
Built the kingdom with four walls, i’ll keep you safe from harm
Here I’ve got you, please worry not, together we’ll beat the odds
All: Somebody give us a story
Narrate all the places that we’ll never see
Give us a haven for imagination
So at least in our minds we can attempt to be free
Man: Hush now my child, all good things come in time
Days might look grey, but you'll soon realise
You can't take yourself too far, remember who you are
Here I’ve got you, please worry not, remember your deviant hearts
All: Somebody give us a story
Narrate all the places that we’ll never see
Give us a haven for imagination
So at least in our minds we can attempt to be free
(instrumental interlude)
All: Somebody give us a story
Narrate all the places that we’ll never see
It’s not that we’re lonesome, but the days just get too long
And the splendid horizon is calling for me
All: Somebody give us a story
Give us a myth, legend, any old tale
It’s such a small world if you don’t want to get hurt
But at least in our minds it doesn’t look quite as pale
