[Verse 1] In September my heart wanders back To ten days that changed everything We came with names and photographs And love that death could never take away Parents for children, sisters for brothers Different stories, same broken ache We didn't need to explain it, love Our hearts already knew the way [Chorus] Oh, I may not be there beside you But distance hasn't moved me at all My heart still rests where yours first met mine In that sacred womb where we learned to fall And be held For every empty chair, for every forever name You are not forgotten, neither are they Grief may have introduced us, my beautiful friends But love is what keeps us connected [Verse 2] I remember the tears when words failed And the laughter that found us through the rain When one heart grew too heavy to carry Another one helped carry the pain I remember the quiet that told me I'm still here, you don't walk alone I remember your loved ones, I remember their stories I remember, you're still known [Chorus - soft and tender] Though I can't be there this year It hurts more than words can say But in these first ten days of September I'll be holding you close, every single day For every mother, every father For every sister, every brother You are not forgotten Your loved ones are not forgotten And neither are you [Bridge - stripped piano, whisper vocal] So let us hold on from miles away Let love be the thread that still remains Somewhere someone is remembering Crying with you, praying with you Loving you from afar... [Final Chorus - warm strings swell, hopeful] I am I am remembering with you I am crying with you, praying with you Loving you from afar Grief brought us together, but love Oh love is what keeps us Love is what keeps us connected [Outro - gentle fade] Until we meet again With all my love, Hope
