There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for and dream of all your life.
This is one of those moments.

I will always remember this chair, that window,
The way the light streams in.
The clothes I´m wearing,
The words I´m hearing,
The faces I´m seeing,
The feeling I´m feeling,
The smell, the sound, will be written on my mind,
Will be written in my heart as long as I live!

I can travel the past and take what I need
To see me throught the years.
What my father learned and his father before him
Will be there for my eyes and ears.
I can walk through the forests of the trees of knowledge
And listen to the lessons of the leaves.
I can entre rooms where there are rooms within rooms,

Wrapped in a shawl that learning weaves.

I remember, Papa-
Ev´rything you taught me!
What you gave me, Papa-
Look at what it´s brought me!

There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
And now they´re about to be mine!
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away.

I can open doors and take from the shelves
All the books I´ve longed to hold.

I can ask all the questions,
The whys and the wheres
As the myst´ries of life unfold.
Like a link in a chain from the past to the future,
That joins me with the children yet to be,
I can now be a part of the ongoing stream,
That has always been a part of me!

There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away-
And now they´re about to be mine!

There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for and dream of all your life.
This is one of those moments!
