Tellin' Stories Lyrics

In a courtyard, greeted by a clamour of hands

To tell a story about a story teller

Then he began

An individual in the crowd caused him pause answering his phone

But anyway, this is the way the story goes

In the theater, welcomed by a round of applause

A fellow sits on that stage alone

He tells his tales of what he has seen on the road

He talks of faith, he talks of the world he knows

He tells us a story of the seeds he sows

Tellin' a story about a guy tellin' a story about a guy that tells stories

Tellin' a story about a guy tellin' a story about a guy that tells stories

Don't deprive the rest of the best just keep tellin' those stories

You'll get in a mess if you don't tell the rest of your stories

Finally now, ready to start again

Given the chance he knows his words will ring

But just as he begins to weave

Half the crowd gets up and they start to leave

But in the story, deep into his tale they begin to see

What one man can do to many

But true power lies with the men who stand with men

And if you're not greedy you'll reap the reward within

Tellin' a story about a guy tellin' a story about a guy that tells stories

Tellin' a story about a guy tellin' a story about a guy that tells stories

Don't deprive the rest of the best just keep tellin' those stories

You'll get in a mess if you don't tell the rest of your stories

Dust settles what's left is a loyal few

If you were there, would one of them be you

Bear witness to the greatest tale since I don't know when

Cuz without this one no others could have been

Power don't know no reasonable debate

Just take a look at the state of the state

When the corrupted are the ones we trusted

And we fight so hard with all the strength we can muster

And we don't want to cheat one another

We keep tellin' stories about the guys tellin' stories about the guys tellin' stories

Tellin' stories about the guys tellin' stories about the guys that tell stories

Don't deprive the rest of the best just keep tellin' those stories

You'll get in a mess if you don't tell the rest of your stories
