If We Could Remember

Sit with me along the canal
Birds chirping as swans swim by
This must have been what it was like
Back when wars were far off
And hate speech was never heard
A time of medieval kings and queens
And people just celebrating being alive
You know the Middle Ages were long ago
But their traces may still be found
Just to show us what life could be like
If only we could remember it
