Remember When

4:28

Song Description:

The ugly subject of mandatory euthanasia is openly discussed by

intellectuals and politicians in conversations about our future “civilization”.

The fact that any form of life termination is antithetical to what is civilized

is rarely considered. Death should be seen as part of a life, not the end of

existence for any perceived greater good.

Lyrics:

                         

Remember when

I took your hand.

With baby steps we crossed the sand.

 

Forgive me now,

when I can’t stand.

Thanks for the smile that comes unplanned.

 

Remember when

I brushed your hair?

Child in the mirror, oh so fair.

 

Forgive me now,

and though I care,

I may not recognize you there.

 

Remember when

I dried your tears?

Sent you to school despite your fears.

 

Forgive me now. 

Please help me through

making the crossing. I love you….I love you.

 

Remember when

I watched you play?

Making me proud that sunny day.

 

Forgive me now.

Please recognize

time takes its toll on dimming eyes.

 

Remember when

I walked you down

that flowered aisle in wedding gown.

 

Forgive me now.

Your mom is gone.

We prayed together on the lawn.

 

Remember when 

your babes in tow,

parenting ways you soon did show.

 

Forgive me now.

I’ve told you so.

Strong memories form long ago….long ago.

 

Remember when

old ways were changed?

Life-ending actions thus arranged.

 

Forgive me now.

Please hold my hand.

Don’t let them follow that command.

 

Dear god on high

Please comfort me.

 

Bring me to where your face I’ll see.

 

Bring me to where your face I’ll see.  

 

Bring me to where your face I’ll see.
