Nameless

Who prays for the nameless dead ? Who names the nameless ? Do john and jane doe, have a big family ? Have you ever cried for the nameless, or said good-bye to their souls ? I died today, but i can't cry for my soul I don't know my name, do you know me ? You can cry for me, if you will! Place your hand over my heart, pray for sunshine When the sun comes, ask my name I will always remember the feel of life, if only for a short while IT was warm and glowing, now dark and cold MY eyes that could once see, are only blind I feel no warmth, and see no light Only thoughts of nameless and homeless souls All lost to nameless places, yet to find home Their cold eyes look upon my nameless soul Now that i'am gone, do you remember my name ? Can i now have a place to rest ? Now that i know that i'am gone ? I have been given my name ! Do you know it ?
