lyrics

do you remember when we first met
i was half your age and half your height
do you remember when we all crammed in the backseat
teaching each other how to speak

do you remember when Cobe would dance to make it rain
and Anna would stand in it’s drops, washing her worries away
do you remember how in love our parents were
loving each other was easy so we could see them soar

when you trust the wind
you will find land
when you trust the fire
the forest will grow again, grow again

do you remember how our four hands ran the keys
for hours and hours on end
do you remember when we’d walk through the woods
hearing the frog choir sing, whispering our dreams
or jumping on the trampoline in the pouring rain
do you remember feeling clean and so, so sane
do you remember how their love grew and changed

when you trust the wind
you will find land
when you trust the fire
the forest will grow again, grow again

do you remember when we never stopped sweating in New Orleans
scribbling in notebooks, while the ice cubes disappeared in our drinks
because neither of us can avoid the words we need to sing
‘cause music is family

our blood is not the same, but what runs through it is
it’s the will to sing pain, straight from our hearts,
love shining through our eyes
can’t close our mouths, because the voice is so, so human
to sing is to celebrate

do you remember when we wrote this song
let’s keep our memory strong
