A Blessing and a Curse

I forget what happens on the fourth of July
Or when the rent is due
Dates and deadlines just float by
But I always remember you

What Columbus set out to discover
Isabel already knew
There'll be horizons and skylines
But I always remember you

If I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In Beethoven's fifth

Why, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make do
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you.
