6. The Resonance of Memory

From Songs of Youth (1998)

So many days passed away:
silences, the years, they never stay.
Where have they gone to, those things I thought I knew?

Oh, Lord, let me love this day. 
Let me take it. 
Let me turn it.
Let me learn it.
I could never earn it.

Oh, Lord, aren’t we always children to you?
