Remember when the music |
|
Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire |
|
And as we sang the words, it would set our minds on fire, |
|
For we believed in things, and so we'd sing. |
|
Remember when the music |
|
Brought us all together to stand inside the rain |
|
And as we'd join our hands, we'd meet in the refrain, |
|
For we had dreams to live, we had hopes to give. |
|
Remember when the music |
|
Was the best of what we dreamed of for our children's time |
|
And as we sang we worked, for time was just a line, |
|
It was a gift we saved, a gift the future gave. |
|
Remember when the music |
|
Was a rock that we could cling to so we'd not despair, |
|
And as we sang we knew we'd hear an echo fill the air |
|
We'd be smiling then, we would smile again. |
|
Oh all the times I've listened, and all the times I've heard |
|
All the melodies I'm missing, and all the magic words, |
|
And all those potent voices, and the choices we had then, |
|
How I'd love to find we had that kind of choice again. |
|
Remember when the music |
|
Was a glow on the horizon of every newborn day |
|
And as we sang, the sun came up to chase the dark away, |
|
And life was good, for we knew we could. |
|
Remember when the music |
|
Brought the night across the valley as the day went down |
|
And as we'd hum the melody, we'd be safe inside the sound, |
|
And so we'd sleep, we had dreams to keep. |
|
And I feel that something's coming, and it's not just in the wind. |
|
It's more than just tomorrow, it's more than where we've been, |
|
It offers me a promise, it's telling me "Begin", |
|
I know we're needing something worth believing in. |
|
Remember when the music |
|
Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire |
|
And as we sang the words, it would set our minds on fire, |
|
For we believed in things, and so we'd sing. |
