Live Maria Roggen Story song lyrics

We gather ‘round to hear the story told

No difference good or bad

We scrape the barrel to buy what is sold

The truth, or just another diversion

Came all this way to see the signs ourselves

See the Promised Land emerging

The stories filling every crack with gold, or milk, or wine

For complete immersion

We gather ‘round to see the shadow play

No difference good or bad

They cut the story to a résumé

To sooth and comfort, in the guise of information

This is the story of the great unknown

Passing by familiar stations

An adaptation of the odyssey

To meet our cravings and our expectations
