Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every night when I fall on my knees
In the light of the darkness every day
Every time that I needed your love
Never mind, couldn't find it anyway
No more sunshine to fall on me
Lift my heart and a-set me free
Now my light in the dark is a fire down inside
That will reign eternally
[Verse 2]
I know to you it might sound strange
Nobody knows my name
Nobody knows my name
[Verse 3]
And I don't care what you say anymore
Live your life like a man 'cause talk is cheap
And everywhere that you go in the world
Lend your mind and your heart to a friend in need
[Verse 4]
Ain't no sunshine in all this rain
Lift my heart and begin again
Now my life is a part of a memory of man
Let it go and let it be
[Verse 5]
I know to you it might sound strange
Nobody knows my name
Nobody knows my name
Nobody
[Verse 6]
Now, I've been tired and I've been weary
I need your soul now to lift me up
I been talkin' and now you hear me
Sure did take you long enough
[Verse 7]
No more darkness and no more pain
No more hard times and no more rain
Now my heart and my soul, and my mind, and my life
And my music is the way
[Verse 8]
I know to you (I know to you)
It might sound strange (It might sound strange)
Know to you (I know to you)
It might sound strange (It might sound strange)
[Verse 9]
Nobody knows my name (Nobody knows my name)
Nobody knows my name (Nobody knows my name)
Nobody knows my name (Nobody knows my name)
Nobody knows my name (Nobody knows my name, yeah)
