Name: Small Stories
Duration: P00H05M08S
Description: I got the idea for this song walking a footpath through a forested area of Lancaster, SC. It's a beautiful walk; you're right in the middle of town, but you're totally encompassed by trees, crossing little streams periodically. The little experiences are what life is made of.

I got the idea for this song walking a footpath through a forested area of Lancaster, SC. It's a beautiful walk; you're right in the middle of town, but you're totally encompassed by trees, crossing little streams periodically. The little experiences are what life is made of.

lyrics

Head held high, beneath a brand new sky
The dust of the roads you've wandered on your clothes
Only you can say what you've seen along the way
Little things just waiting to be told

Little things are the big things that matter

A lifetime of moments all make up a life
What seems like nothing could be everything
If you'd care to hear I'll tell you my
Small Stories

The smell of my dad's old car, the sound of my first guitar
The ocean breeze blowing through my hair
From watching green grass grow, to playing in the snow
Each one is a story to share

And nothing is too small for the telling

Each chapter we read in the book of our lives
We all tell our story one page at a time

It's 3 AM and he's crying, wants to be held one more time
He couldn't wait for the morning, I don't know why
In the soft light of his room, he lifts his head from my chest
Looks up at me smiling, then lays back down to rest

Just a little thing that changed me forever

I've got the time, won't you tell me your Small Stories
