Someday You'll Be a Story
guitar chords lyrics
Barely asleep when I got the call
Drove through the night
‘Til I made it home
And in his last few breaths I heard
81 years of wisdom learned.
Born in the south
When the country was down
Somehow found work
When no work could be found.
Drafted to war 18 so young,
But when it was through his fight had just begun.
And he said, “You can’t find truth without the hurt.
You won’t know peace without a fight.
It always matters how you live your life.
And only time will tell
You won’t know peace without a fight.
It always matters how you live your life.
And only time will tell
All of the things you do right now.
The love that you found
Will be passed down to everyone.
Someday you’ll be a story to someone.”
He found his wife
And she helped him heal
He was her sword and she was his shield.
Tried to make sure the family
Could always endure the pain that life could bring.
And he said, “Don’t ever think that you’ve got time,
‘Cause you can’t stop the passing years.
So don’t ever lose yourself inside your fears.
‘Cause only time will tell,
All of the things you do right now,
The love that you found,
Will be passed down
To everyone.”
Someday you’ll be a story to someone.
I’ll have a child of my own.
I’ll share the light that I’ve been shown.
And say those words that I was told long ago.
I’ll say, “Only time will tell.
All of the things you do right now.
The love that you found
will be passed down
To everyone.
Someday you’ll be a story to someone.
To someone.
To someone.
The love that you’ve found
Will be passed down
To everyone…
Someday you’ll be a story to someone.”
