If We Could Remember (for the film "The Sum of All Fears")

Remember
If we could remember
The moment of our birth
We give our voice to songs and whispers
And no what life is worth

Remember, remember
Suddenly there s beauty
In peace there s all the past
And sorrow clings to angry questions
The days of dust at last

And morning holds us
When worlds come down and down
A dance of ghosts and ragged dreams
Spinning round, spinning round, spinning round

I remember, remember
If we could remember
The power of the light
That cripple prayers are sometimes exert
And hope survives the night, and hope survives the night

I remember, I remember, remember
