capo II
 Em   G   Cx 2
Oh what have we Emhere, he must be Gthree or Cfour,
Shaken out of a Emboot on its Gway back to Cwar
And he’s not looking Gfor a Bmfather or a Emmother,
Just a Cseven year old Gbrother,
On this Amsmudged line border Dcamp of refugees,
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
So where are we Emnow, he must Gbe five or Csix,
Just running Emaround, hungry Gkids, sharpened Csticks.
And he will Ggrow with Bmpain and fear and Emjealousy,
Taken in by Cschools of Gzealotry,
Who train Amorphans to make Dorphans evermore.
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
Bridge:
You drink the Emsmoke, you ride the Gnoise
You drink the Csmoke, you ride the noise,
And you Emsay it’s necesGsary,
And you forCget the ordinary
But I say, Emon the Gwheel of timeC,
Scour the Earth and find the
EmOrphans of Gforgetting, all the Corphans of forgetting,
Give them Emstars for math and Gpraise for good play,
CHere’s a Band-AidAm, happy birthday,
DYes of course I did remember,
I remember everythingEm  
Oh come over Emhere, kid we’ve Ggot all these Cbooks to read,
With the turtles and Emfrogs, cats and Gdogs who civilize Cthe centuries,
And in a Gworld that’s Bmangry, cruel and Emfurious,
There’s this Cmonkey who’s just Gcurious,
Floating Amhigh above a Dpark with bright balloons.
I am the one who will remember everything.
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
     EmI am the Gone who will reCmember everything
