I Have No Name

I Have No Name               October 25. 2017




The morning seems so far away

We fight the waves of life

We're on our own in sight of death

Will we die, our final breath

The waves of death are high

Can you hear the children cry

We are different but just the same

No future, I have no name 

I don't exist, freedoms way

I love my children, they slipped away

I had no say, go away

No possessions, that's what they say

I faced the waves in freedoms way

I want to live another day

The waves are strong in our fight for life

Sometimes we loose, in the dark of night

No goodbye kiss, things I miss

The morning count of death

The morning seems so far away

We fight the waves of life
