[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
