Trish Foti Genco: Music

You Remind Me Why

Wondering if he’s heard
A solitary word
She tries so hard to teach
He seems so hard to reach
He is a special child
Who needs the extra mile
She questions why she’s here
It’s almost been a year

Then he walks up to her desk
With a gleam in his eye
And she hears him speak her name
For the very first time
The teacher cried

CHORUS
You remind me why
I dare to do it all
You remind me why
I answered the call
You’re all I need to see
I'm where I need to be
There’s a reason I choose this life
And you remind me why

A brave and fearless man
Goes to a foreign land
To risk his very life
Defending what seems right
The rockets red glare
Finds her lying there
A prisoner of fear
For over eighty years

When she finally dared to look
Into the young man’s eyes
She saw the face of freedom
Just before she died
Then the soldier cried

CHORUS

Amid the screams and yells
And the driving of nails
There was a guilty thief who prayed
Lord remember me
Then the Savior cried

You remind me why
I dare to do it all
You remind me why
I answered Heaven’s call
You’re all I need to see
I'm where I need to be
Today I will gladly give my life
And you remind me why
I’d do it all again a Thousand times
You remind me why
