Lyrics

REMEMBER ME
Carlene Thissen, Copyright 2009


One dark and lonely day, Michael looked up toward the sky
Clouds parted and revealed a cross of pure sunlight
A pathway straight to heaven he'd forgotten long ago
And a gentle voice spoke to him, soft and low,


I cleared a path for you, So you can see
And if you lose your way
And if you lose your way
And if you lose your way ---- remember me.


War came and Michael trained to strike past enemy lines
His Apache crashed and cut a path through tall thick pines
Metal merged with wood to leave his family a sign
The trees were gone, except for one, where a cross had formed

I cleared a path for you, So you can see
And if you lose your way
And if you lose your way
And if you lose your way ---- remember me.

BRIDGE:

His co-pilot found him lying there, eyes open toward the sun
In his kit they found two bibles, and pictures of his children.


VERSE 3:

Ever since that day, his wife and mother cried
'Til clouds parted and revealed a cross of pure sunlight
And a feather floated gently down, into an outstretched hand
They knew it came from Michael's wing
And now they sing,

I cleared a path for you, So you can see
And if you lose your way
And if you lose your way
And if you lose your way ---- remember me
And if you lose your way ---- remember me.
