Place We Go to Remember
Lyrics
  • There’s A Place We Go
  • To
  • Remember
  • Paul Reisler, Natalia Zukerman and Howell’s 4
  • th
  • grade, Pocahontas Elementary, Powhatan, VA
  • Inspired by Maya Lin’s Vietnam War Memorial
  • There’s a place we go to remember
  • A wound in the earth that needs healing
  • A wall that holds the memories
  • And all our feelings
  • 58,000 soldiers gave their lives
  • 58,000 names carved in stone
  • May they always be remembered
  • May they always be known
  • Stone doesn’t disappear
  • But it slowly changes shape
  • As the light fades away
  • Our memories don’t dim
  • They keep shining in our hearts
  • In our minds they are always with us
  • They’re such a gift…to us
  • There’s a place we go to remember
  • A wound in the earth that needs healing
  • A wall that holds the memories
  • And all our feelings
  • 58,000 soldiers gave their lives
  • 58,000 names carved in stone
  • May they always be remembered
  • May they always be known
  • In the silence of the stone
  • We hear all their whispering souls
  • Guiding us along
  • On our lonely path
  • Through the forest and the snow
  • Though the healing may be slow
  • We’ll come back to what we know
  • There’s a place we go to remember
  • A wound in the earth that needs healing
  • A wall that holds the memories
  • And all our feelings
  • 58,000 soldiers gave their lives
  • 58,000 names carved in stone
  • May they always be remembered
  • May they always be known
  • There’s a place we go to remember
  • a place we go to remember
  • There’s a place we go to remember
