"Remember" lyrics
Seems like I been digging this hole my whole life
How long I been stuck in this cell, I can't tell
Don't need someone to help me, just need someone to tell me
To wake up and take responsibility for myself
I need to break these habits I formed, when I was a young man
Take this Love that I've found, make a new game plan
I'm gonna take flight into the light, never gonna go back
To the dark side, I'll swallow my pride
Apologize for all that
Oh Great Spirit, carry me home
I'm so near it, but it feels so cold
I know the pieces of the journey gonna make me whole
Tap me into the veins of this Earth, show me what I'm worth, Jah
I been such a stupid, self-centered jerk, I'm ready for rebirth now
I'm so close to the bridges of faith, but will they hold my weight now?
I got so much here on my plate, I don't wanna waste no
I got this question burning inside
I been searching for the words I can't find
I know the wai ho'ola gonna calm my mind
I'll take my soul to the water and I'll wash me clean
Now I am a part of the river, it's flowing inside of me
It's flowing inside of me
And I am further than I've ever been
But I am so close to my home
Feeling a power that I've never known
All my years I've carried this stone
Will you carry this heavy weight now?
Can you carry this heavy weight now?
And this feeling of being alone
Brother man now it's time to remember
Don't you know it's time to remember?
Now I'm ready I'm coming home
I'll put my soles to the embers and walk and not fear it
Now I am a part of the fire, it's burning in my spirit
It's burning in my spirit
Seems like I been digging this hole my whole life
How long I been stuck in this cell, I can't tell
Just don't even know where to start, to tear this prison apart
And break these chains off my heart
I need an axe, a hammer, I need a sword, a scepter, I need a pen and paper
And while I'm in it just give me a minute to play my guitar
Oh Great Spirit, I'm writing this song, come help me along Jah
I'm so near it, the Love is in the Earth
I'm buried in the dirt now
All this knowledge I hold in my soul, help me to unfold it
And to focus the truth of my heart, filter out the bullshit
And tap me in to Love
Help me rise above
Oh my brother, what has become of you
You've been slacking and slipping through the cracks of this life
Remember, remember
Know that someday we'll sit and laugh as friends
In the beginning and the end of this life
Remember, remember
Don't worry, don't be afraid
'Cause life is too short to make it feel long
So don't drag it out, keep moving along
And if you get stuck, well who gives a...
Funny how things, they just fall into place
When you watch for the signs and give thanks for the space
On this beautiful day, I just wanted to say that I'm thankful to be alive
How long I been stuck in this cell, I can't tell
Don't need someone to help me, just need someone to tell me
To wake up and take responsibility for myself
I need to break these habits I formed, when I was a young man
Take this Love that I've found, make a new game plan
I'm gonna take flight into the light, never gonna go back
To the dark side, I'll swallow my pride
Apologize for all that
Oh Great Spirit, carry me home
I'm so near it, but it feels so cold
I know the pieces of the journey gonna make me whole
Tap me into the veins of this Earth, show me what I'm worth, Jah
I been such a stupid, self-centered jerk, I'm ready for rebirth now
