This track starts with a sound that Hawaiians would have heard for many years, ‘Ili’ili are river worn volcanic rocks that are used like castanets in hula dancing.
lyrics
I will remember, You have been good
I will remember, You've been good to me.
I place these stones, one on one to the top
Marks the times, I can't forget
Stones of remembrance, stacked to the sky
Helps me remember, what I can't deny
Through all these things, You've been good to me
Never forgetting, the reason You died
Trading Your life, so Your friends could reside
Walking through valleys, shadows near deaths,
Scared like a baby, yet I enter Your rest
Through all things, You've been good to me (2x)
Stones of remembrance, stacked to the sky
Helps me remember, what I can't deny
Through all these years, You've been good to me
I can't forget You, even when lonely
Your right there beside me, Your invisible holding
I will remember these things
And I feel You, even when I'm down
And I hear You, when You haven't made a sound
I will remember these things
Stones of remembrance, stacked to the sky
Helps me remember, that I can't deny
Through all these things, You've been good to me
I will remember, You've been good to me
