It’s the story

The thing is the story, nothing else really counts
You want the dots to connect, and the tension must mount
It’s the story

It’s the characters and their choices and they are the key
It’s their trials and tribulations as they seek to break free
It’s the story

The story is the story of the struggle and effort
Of people that you care about, the ways they’ve been hurt
It’s the story

The story is emotions, it’s feelings and failures
The flawed men and women who have the stuff to be saviors
It’s the story

It’s the story that gives meaning to decisions and actions
The temporary victories, the small satisfactions
It’s the story

The story is the conflict, the clash and the clamor
The action and effort, not the glitz and the glamor
It’s the story

The story is what moves us, it’s the continuity
That keeps moving but keeps you guessing with ingenuity
It’s the story

It’s the story we tell as our lives take on shape
It’s the storm of limitations, of constraint and escape
It’s the story

It’s the story that’s unexpected that invades the imagination
The unexpected action in the common situation
It’s the story

The thing is the story, life always comes back
To the story that’s the essence of life’s rhythm track
It’s the story
