Step into My Story

by Kurt Scobie

Mary walks alone into the crowd

Longing for a friend to see her eyes

Longing for the words that speak to years and years of brokenness inside

Ten years on the run at seventeen

Home is just a fading memory

Longing for the fairytales of pages and pages of dreams

And she wonders if there's more to her story

And her heart is crying out for something else

All the promises and dreams are calling out into the crowd

Step into my story

Jon has been alone since he he was five

He's had to pack and move a hundred times

Lost inside a system in a world that doesn't see the strength he has

Fighting on his own, misunderstood

He knows that life's not given what it should

He strives and strives and doesn't even know how to be a son

And he wonders if there's more to his story

And his heart is crying out for something else

All the promises and dreams are calling out into the crowd

Step into my story

The father waits and paces by the door

Aching for the day when they'll be home

He sees from far away his sons and daughters now returning home in shame

He runs to every child, undignified

His eyes light up with tears of joy and pride

Overwhelmed with words and years and dreams all welling up and so He cries

Oh, he cries

Welcome home, come be found inside my story

Welcome in, here is everything you need

All my promises and dreams I am holding for you now

And I'm holding you right now

And I love you as you are

Step into my story
