The Story We Share
Peter Kearney – The Story We Share
Lyrics
Verse 1 It's a story that's older than you or me, Deep as well in the desert must be. A journey begun in the far-off time When Abraham believed the sign God gave. Chorus And the story is mine, the story is ours If we open our ears we can hear A story that grows with the passing of years Made of our laughter, struggles and fears. The story we share, the journey to there, Is happening here. Verse 2 It's a story the child and the grandmother share, A mystery to ponder, a journey to make if we dare, A story to help us grow tall A tale of love, the story of us all. Verse 3 It's a story of dying and rising again, Friendship found in the wine and the bread Round a fire that glows at the end of the day We share the news and sing the blues away. Verse 4 It's a story that's woven strand by strand The weaving of lives and the linking of hands; No need to be lonely - the story we share Is drawing us, calling us to care. Verse 5 It's the story of a God concern'd for the small Providing the Earth as a Mother for all; Giving power to build and power to burn - "Where to now?" is surely our concern.
