"Out of Time," a song commemorating the 2024 RootsTech theme, “Remember.” Sung by Ellie Berry and written by Jonathan Wing, we hope this song inspires you and your family to remember those who have deeply touched your lives.
"Out of Time"
You’re everything I think about
How could I ever live without
The way you’d look at me
And everything would be okay
You’re everywhere I look around
With every word and every sound
You taught me who I am
And turned my nights back into day
I’m letting go of all the pain
Of all the ways I let you down
When I was searching on my own
And when I’ve found I’ve lost my way
I’ll think of when you held me close
And said I’ll never be alone
I think we’re running out of time
For me to say to you
The life you lived
Was so much more
Than ordinary
And when we have to say goodbye
I’ll find a way to have
The strength you had
Cause it’s a part
Of my own story
And I’ll remember
The way you looked
The way you lived
The way you loved
Forever
You’re everything I want to be
How could I ever help you see
The light you gave to me
Means more than I could ever say
You’re everywhere when I run free
With every word and every plea
You brought me back to you
And turned my nights back into day
I’m letting go of all the pain
Of all the ways I let you down
When I was searching on my own
And when I’ve found I’ve lost my way
I’ll think of when you held me close
And said I’ll never be alone
I think we’re running out of time
For me to say to you
The life you lived
Was so much more
Than ordinary
And when you have to close your eyes
I’ll find a way to have
The strength you had
Cause it’s a part
Of my own story
And I’ll remember
The way you looked
The way you lived
The way you loved
Remember when you stayed with me when life got hard
Remember when you said we’d never be apart
Remember when you stitched the pieces of my heart
Remember when you said you loved me from the start
I think we’re running out of time
For me to say to you
The life you lived
Was so much more
Than ordinary
And when we have to say goodbye
I’ll find a way to have
The strength you had
Cause it’s a part
Of my own story
And I’ll remember
The way you looked
The way you lived
The way you loved
Forever
