Give Him A Name

give him a name

that man there

give that man a name

give him a name

claim that boy as your son

call upon that name as your father

hug that baby as your brother

give him a name

write him a letter

tell him how you're doing

sign it with

"love"

give that child a name

welcome him home with open arms

tell him you're glad to see him

that he's safe

give that child a name

ease his pain

and nightmares

tell him it will be "OK"

give him a name

reclaim your hurting lover

hold him close and tight

call him by his name

visit him with flowers

and let him know you miss him

celebrate his birthday

and today

and everyday

just give that soldier a name.
