We can remember swimming in December

We share in each other

Nearer than father

The scent of a lemon, drips from your eyes

A force running in every boy and girl

All rejoicing in the world

We lived an adventure

Love in the Summer

Followed the sun till night

Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other

The feeling was stronger

The shock hit eleven

Got lost in your eyes

Can you remember and humanize

It was still where we’d energized

All rejoicing in the world
