(to the tune of “The More We Get Together”)

Lyrics:  Paula Miller, Piedmont Raging Grannies           

Revised November 21, 2025

C and G7

Verse 1
The more we share our stories,
Our stories, our stories,
The more we share our stories,
The wiser we’ll be.
Books help us remember
And learn from each chapter—
The more we share our stories,
The wiser we’ll be.

Verse 2
When books are being censored,
And taken, and silenced,
When books are being censored,
We lose what we need.
From Anne Frank’s life story
To Huck Finn’s adventures, 

When books are being censored,
We lose what we need.

Verse 3
There’s room for every family,
All families, all families,
There’s room for every family—
In stories, we’re free.
For children who’re learning
The ways that hearts journey,
There’s room for every family—
In stories, we’re free.

Verse 4
  My tastes may- not-be you’re tastes,
And your tastes may-not-be my tastes,
But choices shouldn’t be erased—
There’s room for books to be.
When we share ideas,
Not hide them out of fear—
My tastes may- not-be you’re tastes,
But stories should stay free.
