about

'I Still Remember' articulates the frustration of when pain continually goes unacknowledged.
Written during 2020's 'summer of awakening' but with the knowledge of a lifetime of experience, this song asks what actually took so long...

lyrics

BABY STEPS
EYES THAT TRACE
DARKNESS ETCHED ON A STRANGER’S FACE
ASKING ME TO KNOW MY PLACE
A THOUSAND NIGHTS
BUT I STILL REMEMBER

FATHER’S PRIDE, MOTHER’S JOY
WE WATCH OUR WORDS AS WE PLAY WITH TOYS
PRESERVING PEACE, LONG DESTROYED
AND WE KNOW THIS

WHERE WERE YOU?
WHEN THE FLOODS ROLLED IN
WHERE WERE YOU?
WHEN THE WALLS CAVED IN
TELL ME WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN THE DOGS RAN THROUGH
WHERE WERE YOU?
BUT YOU CALL ME CRAZY

WHO SHOULD I CALL?
THE RESCUER IS CHASING ME
WHERE CAN I FALL?
PILES OF BODIES IN THE STREETS
WHERE DO I GO?
I CAN HARDLY EVER SEE.
EVER SEE.

FATHERS ACHE, MOTHERS TOIL
THE EARTH WAS SCORCHED
THEY STOLE THE SOIL
SO EVERY LIMB EXTENDS THE DREAM
ALL MOUNTAINS CONQUERED, THEY LIVE IN ME

WHERE WERE YOU?
WHEN THE FLOODS ROLLED IN
WHERE WERE YOU?
WHEN THE WALLS CAVED IN
TELL ME WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN THE DOGS RAN THROUGH
WHERE WERE YOU?
BUT YOU CALL ME CRAZY

WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN THE SUN REFUSED TO RISE
DID YOU NOT SEE THE TEARS HADN’T DRIED?
WHERE WERE YOU? WHERE WERE YOU?
WHERE WERE YOU?
SO JUST CALL ME CRAZY

YET JOY WILL RISE
AND FAITH WILL SPEAK
COLOURS NEVER RUN
EVEN WHEN WE’RE WEAK
SEEING GOOD WHERE IT
REFUSED TO GROW
GATHERED WATER
SO THAT BLESSINGS FLOW
BUT WE’RE STILL SCARED TO OPEN THE DOOR

WHERE WERE YOU?
WHEN THE FLOODS ROLLED IN
WHERE WERE YOU?
WHEN THE WALLS CAVED IN
TELL ME WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN THE DOGS RAN THROUGH
WHERE WERE YOU?
BUT YOU CALL ME CRAZY

WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN THE SUN REFUSED TO RISE
DID YOU NOT SEE THE TEARS HADN’T DRIED?
WHERE WERE YOU? WHERE WERE YOU?
WHERE WERE YOU?
SO JUST CALL ME CRAZY

BABY STEPS
EYES THAT TRACE
DARKNESS ETCHED ON A STRANGER’S FACE
ASKING ME TO KNOW MY PLACE
A THOUSAND NIGHTS
I STILL REMEMBER
