Neal Morse The Angels Will Remember Lyrics

Gone - that moment just passed by
It's written in the sky out there
I hope it's somewhere
Pictures - the remnants of our lives
No camera can see quite that far
It can't see how we are

CHORUS:
I hope when I die
I can somehow still be with you
And re-live right now
That's all I really want to do
If time forgets when we were together
I hope the angels will remember

Smiles a million lifetimes wide
And all the tears we've cried can't be
Like drops in the sea
The big screen
That flashes at the end
I hope it lifts us high and then I will get
To see you again

CHORUS

Take a picture of this with your heart and keep it safe forever
Take a picture of us with your heart and we will be together

CHORUS

Gone - that moment just passed by......

Notes: This one's about being with my kids. I was playing in the backyard with them, just having the full on daily peak experience and thinking "Man, I hope when I die I get to see this again". Another thing....ages ago, I think it was '91, I helped out at a Youth at Risk camp in L.A. They took (take?) inner-city kids out to the mountains and did self-empowerment type things with them, including a ropes course. Being on the team I got to do some of the ropes events. Anyway, so there I am hanging out over a cliff with this man (Dean Spillane - I still remember his name!) saying to me "take a picture of this with your heart". At the time I thought he was NUTS! I mean I'm hanging out over a cliff and he's talking about taking pictures with body parts! But it always stayed with me....and found it's way into the bridge of this song. Thanks, Dean.
