I've heard of the lovely maiden And the shiny pot of gold The hero that killed the dragon And the fall of mighty Rome I've read the Shakespeare tragedies And of the first Atlantic flight Now would anybody, please Tell me the story of my life? I've heard of enchanting places But not the beauty of my home Alluring hands and faces But not the power in my own Tell a tale of mystery And the adventure that is mine Please, would anybody please Tell me the story of my life? Like a child still awake Even though the hour's late I've spent a lifetime open-eared But not heard what I long to hear (Bedtime stories in my ears But still one more I long to hear) Storyteller, can you spin The very story I am in? What is the world afloat in? Who was it, caused my heart to form? Was there a promise spoken On the day that I was born? What is the spell what makes me free? Who is the villain I must fight? Please, can anybody, please Tell me the story of my life? Like a child still awake Even though the hour's late I've spent a lifetime open-eared But not heard what I long to hear (Bedtime stories in my ears But still one more I long to hear) Storyteller, can you spin The very story I am in?
