Do you remember
Do you remember the feeling
The one you had when you were young
And existence was big before you
I remember

I remember days sprawled in the grass
The day and a lifetime sprawled out ahead
With nowhere to be and nothing to do
A world full of color
A world full of sounds

I am a woman
High on the hill
Standing before the earth and the sky
Asking for power
And for mercy too

Let the wind billow around me
Let it lift me away
Let it fill me with marvel
Let it fill me with fear
We’ll go

What was I like
Before all this aching came in
Before you broke my heart
Before my soul bowed down
It’s so much quieter here

I take a long look
What else can I do
I think of your face
And I wish to kiss you
Just once

I was melancholy from the start
Sweet on sadness
When there was no reason to be
Enamored with the longing sigh
Consumed with what wasn’t meant to be

I’ll scream
Until hoarse
Until I am forgotten
Until I am no more
Until there is peace

And I’ll remember
What it felt like to lay in that grass
To stand on that hill
To be sure things were wonderful
For I knew nothing else
