Do You Remember?

[Verse 1]
At times, I feel old like I'm going out of style
So I turn down the music on my FM dial
I beg of you to come and listen for a while
And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child
This is my chance to escape today
And I don't want to see my dreams chased away
Inside the palace gates is where I stay
Cause the world is no longer a safe place to play
It's like the story of the little wooden boy
Who wanted to live the life that every child should enjoy
I heard it once or twice before
The world is yours for you to explore
I heard my calling as a child and I answered it
When I grow up and finally get my chance to fit
I'll be the sort of man you can't forget
I used to stare up at the sky on my camping trips
In this quiet night of quiet stars
Of quiet chords on my guitar
Kids out there, I know it might be hard
But I realize how alive you are

[Chorus]
One day I'll travel from the East to the West
And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess
I'll always be young, see a young mind is fresh
And it's clear my memories will one day disappear unless
Do you remember? Yes, I remember
Do you remember?

[Verse 2]
Some say the price of life has a costly amount
When it comes to fights, I might've lost me a bout
But I've never lost my head cause that would cost me a scalp
So when my heart became cold like the Austrian Alps
I used to use my aggression, just to hurt mics
In '86 my whole crew was into dirt bikes
Like the GT Predator or a Mongoose
Listen as I ride the rhythm and let the rhymes loose
This is what makes my life so real
I'll take my chances and spin the wheel
I can't wait to grow up so I'll know the deal
But right now I'm a child and this is how I feel
My younger days were sort of tragic despite
I learned to unify the pen and pad with the mic
I might need a little magic tonight
Cause to me imagination is the fabric of life
My rhymes helped me many times growing up
Before keeping it real, all the days are blowing up
I put on shows in my room, nobody showing up
I'm just a little guy now, but when I'm old enough

[Chorus]
One day I'll travel from the East to the West
And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess
I'll always be young, see a young mind is fresh
And it's clear my memories will one day disappear unless
Do you remember? Yes, I remember
Do you remember?
Remember? That day in September
Yes, I remember, do you remember?

[Outro]
That was my train of thought
