Tell me your story – I am here listening:
About higher souls and chosen roles
And learning lessons since your birth;
About taking part in life’s great art
And bringing healing to the earth.
Tell me your story: I want to know all
About swarming bees and chimpanzees
And throwing stones for your pet dog;
About dairy rounds and farmyard sounds
And fairies inside hollow logs.
Tell me your story: I want to know all
About love affairs and riding mares
And shooting trophies that you won;
About teenage flights and party nights
And meeting him – that special one.
Tell me your story: I want to know all
About wedding bells and baby spells
And building your own house of dreams;
About paddling days and bush-war frays
And learning what true friendship means.
Tell me your story: I want to know all
About taking stands and moving lands
And starting over once again;
About camping trips and scouting tips
And growing esoteric ken.
Tell me your story: I want to know all
About hiking trails and mother’s tales
And children growing up too soon;
About wedded hands and shifting sands
And dancing to the Nana tune.
Tell me your story: I want to know all
About crossing seas and great oak trees
And feeling that you had come home;
About gardens green and countries seen
And shedding light where’re you roam.
Tell me your story – I am listening still:
About loved ones lost and heartache’s cost
And moments filled with joy as well;
About living true and being you –
There’s such a story left to tell!
