DON’T FORGET THEIR NAMES

[VERSE 1]

 

His name is Jeremy (spoken)…..he’s not doing well

Spends a lot of time down at St. Judes

Says the nurses sure are swell

Doctor says he needs more operations

Momma says they gotta have donations

And he says please, someone remember me

 

[CHORUS]

 

So please, don’t forget his name

Sometimes a little player like him, gets lost in a bigger game

Just a victim of lifes’ circumstance, hoping for a chance

And someday, maybe he can do the same

So please, don’t forget his name

 

[VERSE 2]

 

Her name is Sarah (spoken)…..she just turned fifteen

Ran away about a year ago

Cause her dad stayed drunk and mean

That cold street smells so rotten

Sure feels like she’s been forgotten

And she says please, someone remember me

 

[CHORUS]

 

So please, don’t forget her name

Sometimes a little player like her, gets lost in a bigger game

Just a victim of lifes’ circumstance, hoping for a chance

And someday, maybe she can do the same

So please, don’t forget her name

 

[VERSE 3]

 

His name is David (spoken)…..he’s doing just fine

You see, he never got to meet his Dad

And he could never walk the line

Then he found someone who could care

And had a little precious time to share

And he says please, everyone remember me

 

CHORUS]

 

So please, don’t forget their names

Sometimes little players like them, get lost in bigger games

Just victims of lifes’ circumstance, hoping for a chance

And someday, maybe they can do the same

So please, don’t forget their names
