[Verse 1] Before I had a name I saw everything Not with eyes But with knowing Warmth held me close No fear in the room No shame on my skin Just light in the dark [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t ask why I didn’t ask if I just was there And it was enough [Chorus] Before I had a name I was already held Before I had a name I was already well You still are that light You still are that light Before I had a name I was already held [Verse 2] Everyone was whole Before the noise came in Before the stories grew And covered the truth You forgot for a while But not because you’re weak The world got loud Your heart got small [Pre-Chorus] I came to remind you What pain can’t erase There’s something in you Older than your ache [Chorus] Before I had a name I was already held Before I had a name I was already well You still are that light You still are that light Before I had a name I was already held [Bridge] Older than pain Quieter than shame Stronger than rage More beautiful than winning That’s where we begin That’s where we begin Not by proving By remembering [Final Chorus] Before I had a name I was already held Before I had a name I was already well You still are that light You still are that light Before I had a name I was already held
