Remember
Maria Brink Lyrics

I remember that old, quiet day
I recall a peaceful day from my past

I remember the innocence with it
I remember a time when I was pure and free

I remember the death, it was beautiful
I remember a death that was serene and peaceful

I remember the nothingness of me
I remember feeling empty and lost

I remember back, in the beginning
I recall the very start of my journey

I remember the years all too well
I remember every detail of the years that have passed

I remember dreams of a better world
I remember my dreams of a more positive future

And I remember what they did to me
And I remember the harm that was inflicted upon me

I know that I can survive this
I have the strength to overcome this hardship

I know that there's a way
I'm confident that a solution exists

I see a way
I have a clear vision for how to get through this

Release me from these memories
Help me let go of the pain from my past

And show me a way to be free
Guide me towards liberation

Release me from these chains
Allow me to break free from my emotional shackles

And show me a way for me to start again and start this all over
Help me restart and rebuild my life

I remember the martyrs in disbelief
I recall the victims of injustice and feel astounded

And I remember the look on their face
And I recall the expression of hopelessness on their faces

I remember all of the filthy waste
I recall the unpleasant, unwanted elements around me

And I remember what they stole from me
And I recall what was taken from me without permission

They took my innocence
They robbed me of my purity

And show me a way for me to start again and turn this all around
Guide me towards turning my difficult circumstances into something positive
