you won't remember me/rewrite 3


you don't know my name
who I am
or what I do
I'm just another victim
on the nightly network news
you may have seen my face
on the screen of your TV
you won't remember me

It doesn't matter where
some stranger with a plan
strength in his conviction
shotgun in his hand
finger on the trigger
pointed aimlessly
you won't remember me

I never will grow older
my future I won't see
I will never fall in love
or raise a family
I will only be a whisper
a broken hearted memory
you won't remember me

at the elementary school
your local shopping mall
at Virginia Tech
Red Lake Band of Chippewa
movies in Aurora
in Colorado
Littleton
and the list continues
on and on and on and on...
