Those You've Known
The Spring Awakening Lyrics

Those you've known and lost still walk behind you
The memories of the people you have lost still hold a strong presence in your life

All alone, they linger till they find you
The memories of the people you have lost don't leave you on your own and will find their way back to you

Without them, the world grows dark around you
Losing someone close can leave a void in your life that nothing can truly fill

And nothing is the same until you know that they have found you
Finding closure and accepting your loss is important to start healing and moving forward

Those you've pained may carry that still with them
The people you've hurt may still carry the pain you've caused and may never forget

All the same, they whisper 'all forgiven'
Forgiveness can bring peace and closure for both parties involved

Still your heart says their shadows bring the starlight
Even in the darkness and pain, memories of loved ones can provide a source of light and strength

And everything you've ever been is still there in the dark night
Your experiences, both good and bad, shape who you are and are always a part of you

Though you know you've left them far behind
Even though you've lost loved ones, life still goes on and you have to keep moving forward

And the northern wind blows
The changing of seasons and the passage of time is inevitable

You walk on by yourself and not with them
Your loved ones are no longer physically by your side, but their memories and impact on your life still remain

The sorrows, your heart goes
Losing someone can bring intense grief and heartache

Still you know they fill your heart and mind
The memories of the people you have lost continue to have a profound impact on your life

There are those who still know
Others who have experienced loss can empathize with the pain you're feeling

When you say there's a way through this
There is always a way to find hope and healing, even in the darkest of times

They're still home, we're still home
Despite loss, the people and memories that we cherish will always be a part of us and provide comfort

All alone, but still I hear their yearning
Even when we feel alone, the memories of our loved ones can still provide guidance and support

Through the dark, the moon alone there burning
In the midst of darkness and pain, there can still be sources of light and hope

The stars, too, they tell of spring returning
Just as spring brings new growth and renewal, time can bring healing and new beginnings after loss

And summer with another wind that no one yet has known
There are always new experiences and opportunities to look forward to, even after loss

Though you know there's so much more to find
Life is full of possibilities and opportunities for growth and discovery

Another dream, another love you'll hold
The future is bright and full of new experiences and people to love

Still you know to trust your own true mind
Trusting yourself and your instincts is key in finding happiness and fulfillment

And on your way, I'm not alone
Even as we each go on our own path in life, our loved ones will always be with us in spirit

They call me, through all things
The memories of our loved ones can be a source of guidance and strength even in difficult times

Night's falling, but somehow on I go
Even in darkness and sadness, hope and the will to keep moving forward can sustain us

You watch me, just watch me
Our loved ones may be physically gone, but their impact on our lives and memories remain strong

Now they'll walk on my arm through the distant night
The memories of our loved ones can provide comfort and support on our journey through life

And I won't let them stray from my heart
The impact of our loved ones is forever ingrained in our hearts and minds

Through the wind, through the dark, through the winter light
No matter the obstacles we face, the memories of our loved ones can guide us through the tough times

I will read all their dreams to the stars
The memories of our loved ones can inspire us to continue pursuing our own dreams

And I'll see their thoughts are known
The impact of our loved ones can have a lasting legacy on the world and the people around us

They walk with my heart
Our loved ones may no longer be physically present, but they will always hold a special place in our hearts

Not gone
The memories of our loved ones are forever with us and will never truly be gone

And I'll never let them go
The impact of our loved ones is forever a part of us and we'll never forget their influence on our lives
