The Story I Heard Lyrics

Cover art for The Story I Heard lyrics by Blind Pilot

it's very cool that there's this tie in to a homeless person - a guy that is drifting and trying to find himself and is clearly going nowhere - and then there is this religious theme that fits very well into the story line of joseph smith - who heard a story and led people to believe it. it's like he's meeting joseph smith in a day gone by much like he met jojo the homeless guy and he wants to talk to him. israel says that he's heard a story too, and the story that he heard is that people are bored, etc.and you should be careful about the path you lead people down. we're all discontent. we're all messed up. so we try to write our own story. but you're kind of going too far here. he's just saying that the god he believes in treats everyone the same. but he is not sure exactly how - what you say, what your will was. but the truth will come out in the end - he says, one of these mornings will be the loudest you'll here - we'll know the truth and we'll all be home. i really love this song. thanks for all the insight previously.
