[Verse 1]
Remember when the music
Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire
And as we sang the words it would set our minds on fire
For we believed in things, and so we'd sing

[Verse 2]
Remember when the music
Brought us all together to stand inside the rain
And as we joined our hands we'd meet in the refrain
For we had dreams to live, and we had hopes to give

[Verse 3]
Don't you remember when the music
Was the best of what we dreamed of for our children's time?
And as we sang we worked for we knew time was just a line
A gift we saved, a gift the future gave

[Bridge]
Oh, all the times I listened and all the times I heard
All the melodies I'm missing and all the magic words
And all those potent voices and the choices we had then
How I'd love to find we had that kind of choice again

[Verse 4]
Remember when the music
Was a glow on the horizon of every newborn day
And as we sang the sun came up to chase the dark away
And life was good, for we knew we could
[Verse 5]
Remember when the music
Brought the night across the valley as the day went down
And as we'd hum the melody we'd be safe inside the sound
And so we'd sleep, for we had dreams to keep

[Bridge]
And I dream that something's coming and it's not just in the wind
It's more than just tomorrow, it's more than where we've been
It offers me a promise, it's tellin' me begin
I know we're needin' something worth believin' in

[Verse 1]
Remember when the music
Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire
And as we sang the words it would set our minds on fire
For we believed in things, and so we'd sing
And so we'd sing

[Outro]
Hear me now
Oh, I wanna hear the voices ringing
And hear the people singing
Oh, sing it to me now
Hear that music in your heart, whoa
