Forgotten Memories

In these days of plight and sorrow
We’ll look forward to a new tomorrow
Are we capable of changing history?
There is never a new beginning
Just a well-trod path of people singing
We will start and erase the memory

I hold your hand and feel the warmth inside,
you touch me
I’m still here not beyond repair
It’s not hide and seek
Those memories are complete
Just give me time do not despair

In those times of wine and plenty
Empires fall through greed and envy
Carefree times in works of art
Crumbled buildings and bits of bone
All that remains of human homes
We dig in soil to find a clue

I hold your hand and feel the warmth inside,
you touch me
I’m still here not beyond repair
It’s not hide and seek
Those memories are complete
Just give me time do not despair
