Lyrics
STORYTELLER
By telling of the tale of tribes from very long ago
The magician of the word enchants us then to come to know
Our legends and the stories of our long forgotten kin
They bring to us the memories of where we do begin
We never will remember all those dim and dark days
The narrative reminds us when we start to lose our ways
By the fire deep at night or in warmer daytime bright,
The keeper of our legacy tells what's true and what is right
Tell us all again the timeless songs of an age
Sing to us the verses of true love and outrage
Give us all a reason so we save our treasured past
Make us proud of the fact that our heritage will last
Some think our ancient elders were never that clever
They struggled to raise families and braved the torrid weather
They loved and they fought, built cathedrals, made art
Taught children their survival, came together, then apart
From their guidance we have learned to teach each other as we earned
The respect from our own elders when it came to our turn
Reminds us then that we'll become the ancient ones in time
When we listen to our tellers of the verses and the rhymes
Tell us all again the timeless songs of an age
Sing to us the verses of true love and outrage
Give us all a reason so we save our treasured past
Make us proud of the fact that our heritage will last
The legendary tales will pass through ages fair intact
Because of all the poets who've respected well the fact
The word is just the message that we carry in our song
Recall our fabled past as we bring it all along
All the days of our lives are just a chapter of the book
We share it all together anytime we take a look
It's our duty then to celebrate the ones who came before
We will keep them all alive to share the legends and the lore
Tell us all again the timeless songs of an age
Sing to us the verses of true love and outrage
Give us all a reason so we save our treasured past
Make us proud of the fact that our heritage will last
