Round and round the thoughts keep coming Through your head like water running Til the sink begins to overflow So you run to shut it off Pull the plug, forget it all But the tears leave stains upon the floor Everybody's got a story I've got mine and you've got yours I will listen if you let me in Everybody's got a secret sadness That they cannot keep Inside forever, let its strength dispel Tell your story Find a friend for your confession Trusted friend who loves you well Even when he's seen the underside And go to Jesus, perfect priest Who knows our weakness and our fear Sinners, victims, seems that we are all Everybody's got a story I've got mine and you've got yours I will listen if you let me in Everybody's got a secret sadness That they cannot keep Inside forever, let its strength dispel Tell your story
