| Lyrics: | Remember when the music
Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire
And as we sang the
words, it would set our minds on fire,
For we believed in things, and so we'd
sing.
Remember when the music
Brought us all together to stand inside the rain
And
as we'd join our hands, we'd meet in the refrain,
For we had dreams to live, we had hopes to
give.
Remember when the music

And as we sang we worked, for time was just a line,
It was a gift we saved, a gift the
future gave.
Remember when the music
Was a rock that we could cling to so we'd not

And all those potent voices, and the choices we
had then,
How I'd love to find we had that kind of choice again.
Remember when the
music
Was a glow on the horizon of every newborn day
And as we sang, the sun came up to
chase the dark away,
And life was good, for we knew we could.
Remember when the
music
Brought the night across the valley as the day went down
And as we'd hum the melody,
we'd be safe inside the sound,
And so we'd sleep, we had dreams to keep.
And I feel
that something's coming, and it's not just in the wind.
It's more than just tomorrow, it's more
than where we've been,
It offers me a promise, it's telling me "Begin",
I know we're needing
something worth believing in.
