And Truly Say by Steve Flemming

"And Truly Say" is a song about the stories we tell ourselves and the ones we've inherited throughout our lives—stories of happy endings, heroes, romance, success, and even the beliefs that shape how we see the world. While these stories can inspire hope and help us make sense of life, I also wonder what remains when they no longer define us. Can we let go of the need for life to follow a script and simply embrace each moment as it is? This song is an invitation to look beyond the narratives we cling to, to experience life directly, and to discover the quiet peace that comes when we can truly say that life is okay, just as it is. A few words by Steve: I'm an independent songwriter and most people discover my music through word of mouth. If a song resonates with you, sharing it with a friend is one of the best ways you can support my work. Feel free to also like, subscribe and leave your comments. I'm happy to continue the conversation; especially if a song speaks to you. :) Thanks again everyone; your ongoing support is greatly appreciated! Written and Produced by Steve Flemming [INSTRUMENTAL] Do we still search to find romantic endings? Where the loser finds a way to somehow win Do we still look for hope inside these stories? Do we need them more than ever; here again? [INSTRUMENTAL] Does the cowboy need to walk into the sunset? Does the lost soul solve their anguish just in time? Does the King and Queen attempt to lift the people? And lead them all together from behind Does the lover find her match made in heaven? Does the child find their smile with a pet? Does the doctor find a cure for the cancer? Does the widow learn to live with no regret? [INSTRUMENTAL] Still what if none of this ever happens? Are we okay with our new narratives? Can we trust that life is just another paragraph? To the tales; that really have no end [INSTRUMENTAL] It seems to me; we love our hopeful stories Like the hero; who dies for a cause A climax to another great adventure To fill our lives; when we stop to pause And yet life as we know is not a story No climax or final finish line I wonder if we’ll ever hear the whispers That speaks the truth; instead of made up lies No black or white; or even shades of grey Just life as it is; here today Can we feel inside; for a moment? And truly say; that life is okay No black or white; or even shades of grey Just life as it is; here today Can we feel inside; just for this moment? And truly say; that life is okay [INSTRUMENTAL] Steve Flemming Closing words by Steve: If these songs have meant something to you, would you consider helping me keep this musical journey going with a small donation?
