Stories

I woke up tonight

And found my hands useless

I woke up tonight

And found my hands useless

And it felt far away

With raging tides outside

That seeked to break the window panes

My throat is clutched tight

Perceptions dance in black and white

Searching for acquaintance in your name

Just don't choose these words

Never to be told

'Cause chances leave more quickly

Than you can regret

And someone will be thankful

Once these words are said

So I found you

With your head held high

With words I can't forget

With words I cannot hide

Dear father please have faith in me

I sure have done more things wrong than I've done right

But on that day

I will tell a story

Of friends and hardships worth

And if it takes a lifetime

For this to come true

Where would I be without you

Don't let me be mistaken

Just this once

We still got time
