Tell Your Story
by Christine Dente from Out of the Grey: “6.1”
Round and round the thoughts keep coming
Through your head like water running
‘Til the sink begins to overflow
So you run to shut it off
Pull the plug, forget it all
But the tears leave stains upon the floorEverybody’s got a story
I’ve got mine and you’ve got yours
I will listen if you let me in
Everybody’s got a secret sadness
That they cannot keep
Inside forever, let its strength dispel
Tell your storyFind a friend for your confession
Trusted one who loves you well
Even when he’s seen the underside
And go to Jesus, perfect priest
Who knows our weakness and our fear
Sinners, victims, seems that we are allEverybody’s got a story
I’ve got mine and you’ve got yours
I will listen if you let me in
Everybody’s got a secret sadness
That they cannot keep
Inside forever, let its strength dispel
Tell your story
