Jordan St. Cyr's song 'Storytelling Man' reflects on growing up listening to classic rock storytellers like Billy Joel and Bob Dylan, then discovering the greatest storyteller of all in Jesus. The lyrics trace a journey from hearing parables like the prodigal son to finding personal identity and faith through Christ's narrative. The song emphasizes how God's stories reveal who we are and invites listeners to trust their own stories to Him. It's a heartfelt, reflective piece about faith, identity, and the power of divine storytelling.

I was raised on radio
Facing backwards in dad's Dodge Monaco
Windows dirty, seats were cold
AM station, rock and roll
Singing words I didn't understand
Isn't that the way it goes?
You feel it in your heart before your head ever knows it
Billy Joel, Elton John, Bruce and Dylan
The list goes on
I always loved a storytelling man
And then I heard about the lonely prodigal
How a little faith can make a miracle
He told me who He was
Then He somehow told me who I am
That's why I trust my story to the hands
Of the storytelling man
He got underneath my skin
I heard the characters and found myself in them
Rich fools and Samaritans
That lost sheep, he got found again
There ain't no better storyteller man
There ain't no better storyteller man
And then I heard about the lonely prodigal
How a little faith can make a miracle
He told me who He was
Then He somehow told me who I am
That's why I trust my story to the hands
Of the storytelling man
The storytelling man
And if it's feeling like you've heard this all before
He's not just telling mine, my friend
He's also telling yours
And even now, sometimes
I still feel like that kid who wasn't sure
And then I heard about the lonely prodigal
How a little faith can make a miracle
He told me who He was
Then He somehow told me who I am
That's why I trust my story to the hands
Of the storytelling man
The storytelling man
