Our Lives As Stories
Our Lives As Stories
We live our lives as stories
We are but yarn to tell
Beyond defeat and glories we run from fade to swell
We live our lives as events
We are but gamer match
Beyond loser and winner we run from full to patch
We live our lives as dramas
We are but model clay
Beyond forlorn and comic we run from work to play
We live our lives as capsules
We are but tonic cure
Beyond disease and vigor we run from foul to pure
We live our lives as lessons
We are but sample case
Beyond novice and mentor we run from plain to grace
We live our lives as crusades
We are but battle gain
Beyond tussle and accord we run from wax to wane
We live our lives as ethos
We are but moral code
Beyond evil and goodness we run from slack to mode
We live our lives as cohorts
We are but common folk
Beyond union and single we run from loose to yoke
