Put on that album
the one you introduced me to
what seems like forever ago
Just let it play
let it carry me into memory
Nostalgia trip through brighter days
that really weren’t much brighter
just a different set of obstacles
that we still survived
just as I’ll live now
A little reminder
that we’ll always find a way
through so many twists and turns
Down roads of our own
we travel with the beat
driving us through
May this song
show me the way
to where I’m to call home
the melody painting pictures
of what I’m supposed to see
The lyrics tugging at my heart
pulling past the places
I’m not meant to stay too long
and may you yet find your own way
the one that will never know
how much you showed me
Through my ears right to my soul
with a music of your own
that I still turn to
to this very day
Cue that inspiration
and let the flashbacks
sing me off to sleep
where I may yet dream
and prepare for whatever lay
further down this path
Armed with the knowledge
the strength of will and spirit
that your gifts so along ago
have granted me again
