The Novelists (USA) - You Will Know My Name lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was a child in my parents' house We were trained disciples and so devout But the final goal of the god they praised You will know my name So I went to school, learned to stand in line Learned to raise my hand to speak my mind Took a chorus role in the greater play Memorizing names [Chorus] Did I love the song Or did I sing along Just because I was afraid to say You will know my name [Verse 2] I was taught not to lie by the liars and the cheats I was told to be kind by the cruel and weak Constantly turning the other cheek Scared to know my name [Chorus] Did I love the rules To fall in, fit and fooled When I learn to live without that shame You will know my name [Verse 3] And in finding the courage to sing my song I have chosen the garden where I belong Freely determining right from wrong Is the value of my name The value of my name [Chorus] Now I see the cost To find what wasn't lost Never really was my debt to pay You will know my name
