Way way back then
Back years ago
I was given four names
By which I'd be known
And I knew not then
Still don't know now
How to live by this name
How to do it proud
Sometimes I find
That I'm more or less
No name no label
No family crest
And it matters where
And when we shake hands
What name I'll give you
It all depends.
But if I had wings I don't think I would fly
I'd learn to walk and try to get that right
But someday I swear that I will soar
I'll reach higher than I ever have before
Way way back then
23 years ago
I was given my name
Not the one you'd know
And I'm still not sure
If this name's a lie
If I am who I'm supposed to be
Or someone else inside
But if I had wings I don't think I would fly
I'd learn to walk and try to get that right
But someday I swear that I will soar
I'll reach higher than I ever have before
Way way back then...
