I remember laughing in the rain
Running through the streets
Seeking out some shade
Yet I remember wearing all the pain
Shackles draw the marks that even time can't fade

Do you remember?
These battles could be won
Do you remember?
There's life beyond the setting sun
Do you remember?
How rich this path could be?
Do you remember me?

I remember feeling whole inside
The warmth that love can bring
Melting all the ice
Yet I remember sorrow's sweeping tide
Water filling lungs
Eternal sleep would suffice

I remember waltzing through the night
Donning dancing shoes
That never seem to wear
Yet I remember failing to make things right
A broken man is left for dead and gasping for air
