Father, remember
What common ground we had
We had love, land, time, air
Somehow I remember
That’s all we shared
I made it my business
To leave you
Even though part of me
Believed you
You had a look
That told me of an idea you had
You held for me a book
And told me “take it from here and be glad”
Somehow I was young
And old and proud
Somehow I clung
To that which would make me loud
Do you remember how we left each other?
Do you remember we left in a hurry?
Do you remember me and my mother?
Do you remember anything about worry?
Well, I worry because I remember you
And I promise I won’t forget
This year’s last December, you
Let me go, you did let
When I wake these days I see your face
It feels that you are with me
In a common ground stronger than place
From now on, that’s way it’ll be.
