Have you ever been up

Have you ever been down

Have you ever been lost

Have you ever been found

Have you ever been right

Have you ever been wrong

Have you come up short

Can you come along

Have you left a mark

Have you left alone

Have you seen the way

Can you come back home

Short stories

babe just take what they will give

Short stories

that's all it's ever been

Don't you worry 'bout the ending

Babe, before we begin

I have seen the sun

That's behind the rain

I have felt the joy

That's behind the pain

Did you ever go soft

Did you ever run wild

I've been a hundred years old

I been a newborn child

I have found a smile in the midst of tears

I can find a heart in the midst of fear

Don't you know I need you near me

Or my happy ending's gone

And I see now so very clearly

That our story must go on

and on!

If I give myself

Can I ask for you

If I give you hope

Can we make it through

You know I need a dream

Like I need my breath

We need to take the life

Before we get the death

You know I need your love

Like I need the light

Yes I need the chance

Can it be tonight?
