Lyrics
REMEMBER
In every facet of our lives, love is in demand;
It's the very thing we need but find we can't command.
We grab and tear each other's souls just to fill that void;
Yet all our efforts are in vain for love you can not hold.
Parental love just dominates, it cannot gratify;
A brother's love begins to see but cannot qualify;
Lust is love divides us all, it cannot unify;
But love divine is so sublime, it wholly satisfies!
If we remembered Heaven and the way that we were,
We'd remember why we fell and how we came from her.
We turned away from our true love and to each other's plea;
Now we fill our lives with pain, not love's sweet ecstasy.
So if experience can help us learn the nature of true love;
Then there's a chance to resurrect the life we knew above.
Can you release the soul you claim, no more to do him harm?
For you can't hold but must be held in His eternal arms.
If we remembered Heaven and the way we were,
We'd remember why we fell and how we came from her.
We turned away from our true love and to each other's plea;
Now we fill our lives with pain, not love's sweet ecstasy.
Thrilling and fulfilling joy; a life to learn anew!
A pure heart falls in love with love; it opens through and through!
Flowing and abiding light; no momentary bliss!
He'll return if you desire; you must believe in this!
If we remembered Heaven and the way that we were,
We'd remember why we fell and how we came from her.
We turned away from our true love and to each other's plea;
Now we fill our lives with pain, not love's sweet ecstasy.
