The Story I Heard Lyrics

I think I remember reading somewhere that Jojo was indeed a homeless man that Israel met. He said that they talked once, and the man told Israel his name was Jojo. Sometime later, Israel saw him again, and said "Hello Jojo". Jojo became ecstatic because someone knew his name. He didn't remember that he had talked to Israel before. Israel was amazed that this man was so thankful that just one simple thing had been remembered about him. Sort of like Jojo expects to be forgotten and be a ghost wherever he goes.

That's just heartbreaking, but a beautiful song anyways.
