Remember
I'm lost in the middle of nowhere
And I'm surrounded by strangers
Traveling to a different land
Crying out for my family
Where are my parents?
Lost in the darkness
Where is my father?
Disappeared with the morning light
Confusion, hope, revelation
The meaning of the journey
Give me an answer to calm me down
Remember well the past
My friends are calling me
Trying to help but unable
I need an answer
I remember, I want to remember
My family
I want to remember my family
Sitting quietly here
In the darkness, my mind is wandering
Confusion - darkness - confusion
Your journey is far
But nothing in your mind is clear
You may be lost, but don't give up
There are things waiting for you
The true story is
You need to be strong and brave
But you will find the beauty in your hope
When you reach there
