Your Life Story Lyrics - The Calling - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Maybe love is all anybody 

Ever should believe in 

Maybe life is just something 

That employs us 'til 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 

Photos 

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 

Everybody'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
