Everyone has a story,
A tale unknown,
To the seeing eyes
And the hearing ears…

Everyone has a story,
Of pain and gall;
Sometimes, masked by a smile
Sometimes, loud with a cry…

Everyone has a story,
Of joy and cheer,
The nostalgia, we call home
The safe abode, we run to…

Everyone has a story,
Try to listen and learn
It may bring you comfort,
It may make you take heed…

Everyone has a story,
I hope we’ll have the courage
To tell the world,
Of our tales and legends…
