José James – Nobody Knows My Name lyrics

[Verse 1: José James]
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

[Chorus]
I know to you
It might sound strange
Nobody knows my name
Nobody knows my name

[Verse 2: Laura Mvula]
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
Ain't no sunshine in all this rain
Lift my heart and begin again
Now my life is a part of the memory of man
Let it go and let it be

[Chorus]
I know to you
It might sound strange
Nobody knows my name
Nobody knows my name

[Piano Interlude: Kris Bowers]

[Verse 3: José James and Laura Mvula]
Now I've been tired and I've been weary
I need your soul now to lift me up
I've been talking and now you hear me
Sure did take you long enough
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

[Chorus]
I know to you
It might sound strange
I know to you
It might sound strange

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
