How many names
          Has history let go from its books?
                    How many stones are filled with letters
          That no one remembers?
How many faces were lost to the wind?

The countless forgotten names
The countless forgotten lives
                                             Letters
                                                         Loves
                                                                   Battles
                                                                               The ones that unraveled

I shall not be another name on a stone
     Lost in the wind
          Without a fingerprint left on this world
               Nothing left of me to find

This is my fear
          That no one will hear
                    A single verse, curse
          That I've spit out for all who are near
To show you all of the worst

I will not be another forgotten name
          I will stake my claim
                    I will take aim
                              And I will f  i  r  e

I will make a difference
          I will work to end the sufferance
                    Of all those who can't fend for themselves
          I will fight against ignorance
I will be belligerent

                                  Just wait
