REMEMBER

I remember
Just twelve years old
My first love was from a spirit world
I’d turn the power on
Tune into her signal
She gave me reasons to live
And the courage to stand alone

And I remember
All that freedom in the air
We sang our own songs without a care
How the flowers grew
And their colours lit the sky
No reason to believe
That it would ever die

But one stormy night
The signals got crossed
Rebels took the airwaves and my love was lost
I cried until dawn
“This can’t be so
Where’s my beloved radio?”

Remember
Every favourite song
No forgetting
How they made me strong
I was there
I know what I heard
Every night on the air

I remember
How the morning came to light
I thought I heard her voice, but it wasn’t right
She’d left the spirit world
For riches of the earth
Forsaking all the promises
That gave life it’s worth

I still remember
All those nights I spent alone
Listening for the signal that would take me home
But the sky is dense with clouds now
No room for reasoned voice
And now we all just crawl through life
Thinking we have no choice

Isn’t it time
For a new set of rules?
These critics we’ve been listening to have taken us for fools
I’ll show you a time that’s long since past
When singers could sing and their songs would last

Isn’t it time
For the anger to cease?
Let it die with a whimper
Let it rest in peace
I have a better place where we can go
Just turn off that tired old radio

Remember
Every favourite song
No forgetting
How they made me strong

A world premeire would perk my ear
Tuned to the night sky, such was I
The stars will shine, the sun will show
The tides will turn, the wind will blow
With or without the radio
