First of all I pray
That everyone could say
That they remembered a name
I pray that every one
Can remember those daughters and sons
That aren't all the same
Secondly I beg
That every broken leg
Heals with grace and ease
Every broken heart
Feeling torn apart
Can heal.
I beg, please
Most of all I want
A world that doesn't haunt
My mind with disrespect
Most of all I need
A world that's free of greed
Is that too much to expect?
That's the name I remembered. One person among an army is still one person. I couldn't leave without remembering one name. It felt wrong to leave with nothing. Forgetting everything is the same as never seeing anything at all.
