Remember When The Music

by Harry Chapin


(Here is a challenge - read this aloud without bringing tears to your eyes!)


 

Remember when the music Came from wooden boxes Strung with silver wire. And
as we sang the words It would set our minds on fire. We believed in things,
And so we'd sing 

Remember when the music Brought us all together To stand inside the rain,
And as we joined our hands We'd meet in the refrain. We had dreams to live,
And we had hopes to give 

Don't you remember when the music Was the best of what we dreamed of For our
children's time, And as we sang we worked For we knew time was just a lie. A
gift we say. A gift the future gave 

Of all the times I listened, And all the times I heard. All the melodies are
missing And all the magic words And all those potent voices And all the
choices we had then. How I'd love to find We had that kind of choice again 

Remember when the music Was a glow on the horizon Of every newborn day, And
as we sang the sun came up To chase the dark away. And life was good For we
knew we could 

Remember when the music Brought the night across the valley. As the day went
down And as we'd hum the melody We'd be safe inside the sound And so we'd
sleep For we had dreams to keep 

And I dream that something's coming And it is not just in the wind. It's
more than just tomorrow. It's more than where we've been. It offered me a
promise It's telling me--Begin.  I know it's that even something's worth
believing in 

Remember when the music Came from wooden boxes Strung with silver wire And
as we sang the words It would set our minds on fire We believed in things
And so we'd sing And so we'd sing.
