    Story Behind the Song
    It was penned September 11th, 2001, two days after the twin towers fell. I was sitting in front of the TV listening to the traumatic stories on the news. These stories were the inspiration for the whole last verse of "Remember Me" because they touched my heart so deeply. I felt so proud to be a member of a country where men and women could sacrifice all, for someone they didn't even know. I wrote the first verse, last, based upon that premise...thinking of all the young soldiers from our historical wars that died for us so we may be free today. Born of love and patriotism, this song just seemed to write itself.

    Lyrics
    Remember Me
    Words and Music: Rick Roark
    Indian Records Publishing, BMI © 2001

    I fought the Red Coats on the Jersey shore
    remember me
    I was a Yankee in the Civil War
    remember me
    I was a private in World War One
    I was forgotten in Vietnam
    from Pearl Harbor to Desert Storm, ~Iraqi Freedom~
    remember me

    remember me
    I was the one
    remember me
    1 my fathers son, 2 my mothers son, 3 my countrys son
    I tasted life when I was around
    remember me

    the sweet smell of a summers rain
    snow on the ground that melts in the spring
    all the simple little things
    fill my memory
    the morning sun and the moon at night
    falling in love for the very first time
    my mothers heart
    and my fathers pride
    I take with me
    ~chorus~

    sixty one floors and Lord, Im tired
    remember me
    just give me a chance and Ill fight this fire
    remember me
    were climbing up there to get them out
    with smoke so thick that I cant see now
    Lord, I think these walls are coming down
    coming down on me

    I close my eyes and I see my wife
    our unborn child she has inside
    if I could hold them just one more time
    ~chorus~
