Remember when you were young
how the hero was never hung
always got away

Remember the man
used to leave you empty handed
Always , always let you down
If you ever change your mind
about leaving it all behind
Remember , Remember Today

Don’t you worry
‘Bout what you’ve done
Don’t feel sorry
’bout the way it’s gone

Remember
When you were small
How people seemed so tall
Always had their way
Remember your ma and pa
Just wishing for movie stardom
Always , Always playing a part
If you ever feel sad
And the whole world is driving you mad
Remember, Remember Today

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Remember by John Lennon. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Remember" means the words set to the music of Remember, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by John Lennon. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
