Chorus:
Everybody has a story whether you're young or old
Everybody has a story that' more precious than gold
Everyone needs a true friend to listen and to care
So tell your true story, a memory to share

Once there was a little girl who really missed her dad
And when her parents got divorced, she was angry, she was sad
Her mom and dad told her that she was not to blame
And even though they live apart, they will love her just the same
She was strong and she sang a song
About life and how it changes
Life changes, life changes

Once I knew a family whose little brother died
And when you saw their faces you could tell how much they cried
They were strong and they sang a song
About love that lives forever
Forever and ever

Just like the rain that falls from the sky
Just like your tears that fall from your eyes
To help you feel so your heart can heal
We are strong when we sing our song
Weaving our stories together, together, together
Everybody has a story whether you're young or old

Everybody has a story whether you're young or old
Everybody has a story that' more precious than gold
Everyone needs a true friend to listen and to care
So tell your true story, a memory to share
