A Name to a Face

I heard about a boy I didn't know.
I heard about a boy I didn't know.
A boy missing from the back row.
An empty chair belonged to him.
An empty chair belonged to him.
Now it's bare because of a gun.

A shallow glance down the hall,
To strangers who I will never meet.
I wonder if he ever passed me in haste,
With me never knowing who he was,
Until the day he died.
I wish I could picture, a name to a face

Was he was reckless, expecting luck to last?
Was he was reckless, expecting luck to last?
If there's no risk, hunting would be a blast.
When he died, nobody was there to see.
When he died, nobody was there to see.
They found him in a field, under a tree.

Chorus

I heard about a boy I didn't know.
I heard about a boy I didn't know.
A boy missing from the back row.
This stranger's death to insist life is not to waste.
This stranger's death to insist life is not to waste.
I wish I could picture, a name to a face

Chorus
