And remind your soul

Love will listen
F G
I will listen to you
C Am
Oh oh
[Verse]

And when the pain is true
Am
And your strength is falling through
G
Whatever shadow that you hold
F
This is where your father's been
G C
And where you're gonna go
[Remembered For]
[Outro]
C Am
And when the day is finally here
C F
To leave behind these broken years
Em F
I want my family by my side
C Am
I hope they'll know how hard I've tried
C
To live in love
F
To love in depth
C F
Let wonder take away my breath
C F
To give until there's nothing more
F C
This what I want to be remembered for

i’ve been trying, trying
trying since the day i was born
[chorus]
they say i’ve got my whole life to live

looking for some light
to carry me through

[verse 1]

they say that trust it takes time
that it’s a mountain to climb
i think that i am the reason why
[chorus]
i’ve been waiting for

while waiting i’ll keep taking these steps for you
i’ve been changing

part iii: roll with the punches
[chorus]
roll with the punches, fight through the fire

together, we can work our away around it
part iv: where your father’s been
[verse 3]
so dream, boy, go in wonder

you’ll learn to let it go
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
you gotta lay your body low
’cause if you love something enough
you’ll learn to let it go
[bridge]
and when you’re afraid
that this road has led you away
let love find you
let love bind you up
let love guide you home
and remind your soul
love will listen
i will listen to you
[verse 4]
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
and when the pain is true
and your strength has fallen through
whatever shadow that you hold
this is where your father’s been
and where you’re gonna go
part v: remembered for
[outro]
and when the day is finally here
to leave behind those broken years
i want my family by my side
i hope they’ll know how hard i’ve tried
to live in love, to love in depth
let wonder take away my breath
to give until there’s nothing more
this what i want to be remembered for
