In partnership with the Homicide Support Services Project of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, The SONG Project programming was offered at The Louis D. Brown Peace Institute to members of the community who had lost a loved one to homicide. It was heartening to watch and guide this group through the process of remembering their loved one through song.
The following are lyrics to part of the song created by the members of this group. (You can visit The SONG Project’s music page to hear a recording!)
I Remember You
Blessed because of your creation
My guidance for positive vibrations
Hearing the blue jays call or see them flutter by
We still remember you, We still remember you
I still remember you
Our loved one had to go
But the love is here, I know
Is here to stay
Your love will never go
How can I breathe this air
Missing you my dear
Look to the sky where peace abounds
Open your heart, there love will be found
Embrace your memories, keeping them alive
Lift up and fly, Lift up and fly
Lift up and fly, Lift up and fly
Our loved one had to go
But the love is here, I know
Is here to stay
Your love will never go
How can I breathe this air
Missing you my dear
