Everybody’s got a story

Saw a girl the other day; 

Dyin' of cancer. 

Family & friends prayed, 

Hopin' for an answer. 

Big & Rich together, 

Tried to comfort. 

In the end she died; 

Silent as a feather. 

Yes. No. 

Stop. Go. 

Laugh. Cry. 

Live. Die 

Everybody’s got a story; 

Everybody’s got pain. 

Saw a man the other day. 

Lost the best friend he ever had. 

Some sort of accident. 

Broke him up 

Real bad. 

Tears runnin' down his cheeks. 

He tried hard 

To hold ’em back. 

Yes. No.

Stop. Go.

Laugh. Cry.

Live. Die.

Different names; 

Different places.

All the same:

Shattered faces. 

Everybody’s got a story to tell;

Everybody’s got pain.

Everybody.
