lyrics

Those who made it tell the story of the waters tumbling over;
Left behind to face a future in the names of those before them.
When you listen to their story listen closely and remember
That a ship that never harbors holds a cargo lost forever.

There'll be hard times in our past lives.
Let the dust lie, we'll remember.
When they ask why, you can answer; things get better
So we'll remember that we made it through hard times.

Some will buckle. Some will swagger. Some will break down on smaller matters.
Friends will break up, people scatter; dreams abandoned are left in tatters.
Here's the secret; here's the answer. Listen to me; gather closer.
Time is moving. Dreams will shatter. Blood is spilled and harvest gathered.
So my darling, don't forget me; don't reject me from your memory.
Better days are getting clearer. Love and safety never nearer.

There'll be hard times in our past lives.
Let the dust lie, we'll remember.
When they ask why, you can answer; things get better
So we'll remember that we made it through hard times.
