Song Meaning
Addressed to a listener rather than to God, Christy Nockels' "Always Remember to Never Forget" begins with a gentle greeting: "Hey there beautiful one, you there shining with glory." The singer claims that every fairy tale a person loves has "borrowed your story," a maiden so lovely and a hero so true, and the rest of the song works out what that borrowed story is.
The verses name the threat. The world is "hollow" and "broken," and it wants to swallow "any memory of who you really are." Against that, the chorus hands over a line to repeat in front of the mirror: "the answer is yes, yes you are pure as gold, yes you are beautiful." The second verse supplies the hero, who finds a heart "like a treasure in the deep" and will "even lay down his life, just to make your heart his," a picture that Christian listeners will hear as Christ's pursuit of his people.
The last verse moves from fear to delight, a "favourite parade" and dancing in a favourite dress while the hero loves it when you "never forget." Related passages include the psalmist praising God for being "fearfully and wonderfully made," Jesus on laying down a life for friends, and the promise that God rejoices over his people with singing.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Hey there beautiful one, you there shining with glory
Would you let your heart hear, if I sang about you
Did you know that every fairy tale you love
They have borrowed your story
Of a maiden so lovely, and a hero so true
It's just that this world is hollow
And it wants to swallow
Any memory of who you really are
Always remember to never forget
When you look in the mirror, the answer is yes
Yes you are pure as gold, yes you are beautiful
So always remember to never forget
Always remember to never forget
Like a treasure in the deep, your heart is a diamond
And your hero will do what it takes to find it
So he can hold it tenderly, and become your defender
Even lay down his life, just to make your heart his
It's just that this world is broken
And it wants to hold back
Any evidence of, that kind of love
So always remember to never forget
When you look in the mirror, the answer is yes
Yes you are pure as gold, yes you are beautiful
So always remember to never forget
Always remember to never forget
My darling your light, his favourite parade
On a bright sunny day, in the middle of the mossy forest
You'll dance, in your favourite dress
And oh how he loves when you never forget
So always remember to never forget
When you look in the mirror, the answer is yes
Yes you are pure as gold, yes you are beautiful
So always remember to never forget
Always remember to never forget
So always remember to never forget
So always remember to never, baby never forget
