As the years go by
and my mind abides
to the pressures complied
by society's twisted lies,
I will remember you.

You who lent me a hand,
you who reminded me who I am
who told me to stay strong and pretend
that everything will last to the end
so that I wouldn't ever have to be
left alone again.

The world is broken
the inhabitants are blank
have a stranger's pity as a token
of our low and regretful ranks

in the minds of the intelligent
in the shoulders of the brave
in the arms of the resilient
in the souls of the saved

I witness the pain
and anger and fear
of the day it will rain
those sad empty tears

the rivers will dry up
the flowers will fade
softness will become tough
and hearts will decay

but souls will hover
and love will always stay
and beings will discover
the dawn of a new day

As every morning I rise
tilt my head towards the sky
see your face in the clouds
say your name out aloud
wait for awhile
for my weary old smile

as the sun gives a tour
of the world you died for
as my life continues on
pass the beings long gone,

I will remember you.
