[Verse 1] I met a teacher with four gentle paws No books to carry, no theories, no laws He spoke through silence, a tail, and a gaze And somehow revealed what I'd forgotten for days He ran to the door when love came home Never let a heart feel lost or alone He greeted the sunrise as if it were new Every morning a miracle breaking through [Pre-Chorus] The wise grow older searching for the way The dog just wakes up living it each day [Chorus] Maybe we're here to remember What the animals already knew To dance when we're happy To cry when we're blue To rest in the grass beneath heaven's light To forgive by the morning and sleep through the night The spark isn't hidden It's shining right through Maybe we're learning What the dog already knew [Verse 2] The wind in his face was a song from above A joyride became an expression of love A puddle, a butterfly, leaves in the air Treasures were waiting for anyone there When someone was hurting, he'd quietly stay No speeches, no answers, no fixing the day Just leaning in close with a warm gentle sigh Teaching compassion without asking why [Pre-Chorus] The world keeps spinning faster every year Yet truth arrives softly for those who can hear [Chorus] Maybe we're here to remember What the animals already knew To wag with our whole hearts When a dream comes true To drink from the moment Instead of the mind To stop chasing forever And cherish this time The spark isn't hidden It's shining right through Maybe we're learning What the dog already knew [Bridge] The clock forgets to tick The room forgets my name Even my breath walks slower And nothing needs to change A child looked up and smiled And spoke what sages seek "They already know how to love" The truth was simple, sweet [Spark Verse] So run through galaxies Chasing cosmic bones of light Roll in fields of stardust Bark at shadows of the night Stretch your soul toward wonder Nap beneath the Tree of Time Dig until you find the treasure Buried deep inside your mind And when the world grows weary When hope feels far away Sit beside another heart And simply choose to stay [Final Chorus] Maybe we're here to remember The peace beneath the noise The universe still singing Through children, stars, and toys Through old companions leaving Yet never really gone For every act of kindness Keeps their spirit moving on The spark isn't hidden It's shining right through Maybe we're learning What the dog already knew [Outro] When loved ones come home Run to greet them When the wind calls your name Go feel it When life feels heavy Lie down in the grass And remember... Love was never something to learn Only something to remember.
