Name: One Life: A Million Stories
Duration: P00H02M01S
Description: This song is about opening your mind. Its a "slight" jab at religion. You can live your life and be moral and treat people with respect and be a good person without subscribing to an outdated and oppressive regime and organised religion. There's more to life than believing the religion forced down your throat. Even if life is treating you rough and being unfair.

lyrics

As the raindrops hit my skin
I’m starting to believe that this isn’t the place
No, it isn’t the place, the place I wanna be
And I’ve got some things to ponder
Some places I’d like to wander
I’m not trying to get lost, I’m not trying to get found
I just can’t bear stickin around

And I know I can’t hide from life / but I can keep running
And I know I can’t hide from life / but I’m gunna keep running
And I know I can’t hide from life / so I’ll try to keep running

Please grant me the power to change the things I don’t like
And also the power to accept the things that I can’t change
And then it’s up to me to learn the difference between the two

At times when life just don’t make sense
Tales are born for self defense
There’s a hundred ways to explain life’s suspenseful events
At times when life just don’t make sense
Tales are told for self defense
There’s a million ways to explain life’s suspenseful events
Life’s suspenseful events
