Will You Remember My Name? Will you remember my name? Will you know who I was? Will you follow my footsteps? Will you visit my grave?

As I look down at you sleeping, I know I've been here before Your mother slept in that cradle, While in this chair I rocked My hands were more nimble, My eyes weren't as dim, And my heart filled with love, As your mother fed at my breast This old house protected us all It's grown old as I have; With its skin cracked and peeling, And its bones dry and thin May it keep you forever. Long after I have gone. Because your beating heart. 15 now the soul of the house Will you remember my name? Will you know who I am? Or will you still be in your cradle. While I go to rest in my grave?

Branded in your conscience, many already dead; the picture of the young ones, no life ahead if you too owned all poverty, knew every grot when silent cries echoed, deaf you would be not
