[Verse 1]
On a curbside in Chicago sits a worn-out cardboard sign
Here, the man who sober's hard to find
And to the woman with nine dollars to her name
Dropped a coin into that old man's cup of change
[Chorus]
We're all walking stories
Another page to turn
A paperback expression of a life worth being told
Every step we take, another scribble on the page
We're all walking stories
What's yours going to say
[Verse 2]
There was a time when black and white couldn't live side by side
And skin was the only color you would see
But that all changed the day one woman wouldn't give up her seat
And Martin Luther shouted out "I have a dream"
[Chorus]
We're all walking stories
Another page to turn
A paperback expression of a life worth being told
Every step we take, another scribble on the page
We're all walking stories
So what's yours going to say?
[instrumental]
[Verse 3]
There was a man back before me and you
Who put his life upon a tree
And bled the blood that washed all us sinners clean
And gave forgiveness to all humanity
[Chorus]
We're all walking stories
Another page to turn
A paperback expression of a life worth being told
Every step we take, another scribble on the page
We're all walking stories
We're all walking stories
What's yours going to say?
