The Story Teller - Shas Original

The Story Teller
Copyright Shas Cho 2010

I guess I've always been a story teller
It's hard to know sometimes where a story ends or starts
I talk about my youth, then I talk about my grandpa
Then I talk of how it was when we still walked upon the land
It's hard to know just when a story ends
It's hard to know where stories start and end

The sun god sent the grass to lead the buffalo
Across the endless prairies where the winds of freedom blow
Those who came before us lived in stories of their own
I don't know how their story will end
Their story has not come to an end

Bridge-
The future is not written by religions, prayers, or creeds
The way we treat each other writes our page in history
Our children have to walk upon the roads we leave for them
So build them straight and wide enough to travel hand in hand

The people in a story never linger
They play their part and change the world for better or for worse
And those who dig our graves will stand upon our shoulders
Perhaps the story never really ends
Perhaps our stories never really end

Now my part in this story may be over
I've played my role, the story doesn't end because I'm gone
It started long before my birth and no one knows the end
I'd like to blow across the earth again
I'll blow across the earth once again

"The way we treat each other writes our page in history" -- Indeed!

A child's mind is like an empty page, where every passer-by leaves his mark.

Enjoy the Yule festivities. We can decorate our homes with trees and greenery such as holly and mistletoe, exchange gifts, enjoy family get-togethers, feast, drink and make merry on the 25th December, and you can call it whatever you wish!

Have a Peaceful Yule Shas
