The Voice of the Carnival explains the importance and power of stories and how The Carnival survives on its legends in the same way that people adopt stories to understand their world, their actions and themselves.

lyrics

We all have our own story but
That’s a confidence game
Our truth or allegory
Are but one and the same
We’re all the heroes of the legend of what we became
Sideline the cameos, to reserve the acclaim

Time and time again I read what I knew
From time to time my story seams that it’s me and it’s you

We c ling to our own tales like
We believe them unique
Ignore all details
too complex or oblique
That narrow focus is a practiced and well honed technique
To, avoid attention and unwelcome critique

There’s just one story but,
The plot is in all our hands
The theme’s dependent on
where we should happen to stand
So keep on moving, see the different lies of the land
Just change perspective and
see what views take command
