If We Could Remember

If we could remember
The moment of our birth
We give our voice to songs and whispers
And know what life is worth

Remember, remember

Suddenly there's beauty
In peace there's all the past
And sorrow clings to angry questions
The days of dust at last

And morning holds us
When the worlds come tumbling down
A dance of ghosts and ragged dreams
Spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round

I remember
Remember, remember
Remember, remember

If we could remember the power of the light
That cripple prayers are sometimes answered
And hope survives the night
And hope survives the night, the night

I remember, I remember
Remember, remember
Remember
