Sit down next to me
Tell me a story
Of a world thats happy
Tell me a story
When there isn't children starving
Reassure me storyteller
That my envisions
Aren't all that far fetched
As some may tell me
Just sit next to me
And tell me a story
When the day will come
And our world
Won't have to rely on a gun
A time when living is fun
Storyteller show me peace
Or when we can all live in security
Don't have to worry about planes
Flying into buildings
Storyteller of mine
Sit next to me
Tell me I'm not nieve
And that its not foolish
To have faith and to believe
Storyteller tell me a story
About when people aren't greedy
And will give willingly to the needy
When the billionaires actually care
Tell me a time when
We're not all plotting deaths
With god's reasoning behind it
Cause we all know it doesn't excuse it
Storyteller take your pencil
And draw me a illustration
Of a world united
And not seperated
Tell me about a day when
I could fly to any country
And not have to worry
About bombers on a mission of suicide
Just because I was an American.
Storyteller explain to me
When the day will come
That color of skin is embraced
And sexuality is excepted
Tell me when these issues will be faced
And not laced in the book of things to do
What is so hard with telling your enemy
'I love you', instead of 'I hate you'?
Tell me a story
Storyteller of mine
Sit next to me
And show me my destiny
Am I right
Are these envisions correct?
Can I lead people from the night
Into the light?
Can I change one person?
Could I change the world?
Is my purpose, peoples lesson?
Storyteller, let me tell you a story
Of a girl that has tears in her eyes
Cause all around her are lies
No truth to the news
Or what our leaders pre-scripted speeches say
Hear a girl who pleads for peace
For silence to fall atlast
Storyteller tell me a story
Of a girl with a mission
Who sat next to you
And revelated on things she'd like to do
Tell me a story, Storyteller
On how you told that girl a story
Of a brighter day
And told her it wasn't nieve
Just to believe
For within her words
And deep within her soul
Was the way, storyteller
To find that brighter day.
