lyrics

you only get one shot to do this the right way
people are living and dying by the words that you say
how does it feel to hold their souls on your lips
to shape their lives and hope that you don't slip
cause it's a hard thing to get across
the pained and the pitiful, the desperate and the lost
the stories of heroes are written with blood
sometimes the storyteller gets caught in the flood
and it's a terrible weight to bear alone
when the song that you're singing cuts you to the bone
when you feel your strength fading and your heart retires
and you're whispering into a telephone wire

please won't you help me carry this weight
unravel their mysteries, their loves and their fates
i'm ready and willing so sing through me
i'm a receiver waiting, you know this call ain't free
