lyrics

My Name Is Noah

They took my breath away, so could you lend me yours
That I might still be heard,
They took my mothers son, sure wasn't I her only one,
And with that, they changed her world.

A schoolboy I, of only 14 years,
Who knew that day would be my last?
In June of '20, my future slipped away,
Here on the streets of Belfast

Chorus
I need someone, to ease my mothers pain,
I need someone, to help me speak again,
I can't do these things myself you see,
So I ask, would you do that for me?

Alas no more will my fingers guide the bow,
Nor feel my mothers warm embrace,
I'm just a child knowing not what I've done wrong,
To lay my days ahead to waste.

Chorus
I need someone, to help weather this storm,
To stand for me, that my voice might be re-born,
Will you stand in solidarity?
My name is Noah, would you do that for me?

What if I was your own?
You'd search each day,
To find some way,
To make the truth be known.

Chorus
I need someone, to ease my mothers sorrow,
To stand for me and all my lost tomorrows,
I ask will you be that somebody?
My name is Noah, would you do that for me?

They took my voice away,
So could you lend me yours?
