You've been taken away from me, tragically
But every word you said is still here echoing
Buzzing in my ear just like a symphony
Over and over again
The choir reprises the pain
Keep me in your memory
My wayward sons and daughters
Walk into the river
Try to look for the headwaters
You've been taken away from me, tragically
Turned every word you said into a melody
So I can ascend along the symphony
Oh father, what a shame I can't re-write the past
I pray that you find peace that will everlast
I pray that you find peace, that it'll everlast
Keep me in your memory
My wayward sons and daughters
Walk into the river
Try to look for the headwaters
We have always been birds of a multicolored feather
So keep me in your memory tonight and forever
I'm losing my mind to the sound of strings
How can I go through the rest of my life without my
(Sons) Never forget me
(Daughters) Never forget me
(Love) Never forget to lift each other up
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Never forget me
Never forget me
Never for get to lift each other up
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Keep me in your memory
My wayward sons and daughters
Fix your broken wings and keep your heads held high together
We have always been a source of light, a source of laughter
So keep me in your memory tonight
Keep me in your memory
My wayward sons and daughters
Walk into the river
Try to look for the headwaters
We have always been birds of a multicolored feather
So keep me in your memory tonight and forever
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
