[Verse 1] I wore their labels home Like coats in the rain Too small for my shoulders Too heavy to claim They called me what I lost Not what I could be A shadow in a hallway That forgot the key [Pre-Chorus] Then a voice inside me said "Look up, look in" Not a borrowed name Not a second skin Every scar can speak Every crack can glow If I stand at the edge I can let it go [Chorus] I am my true name I am my true name (turn the key now) I am my true name I am my true name (hear it ring out) No more borrowed chains No more silent blame I was born to rise I am my true name [Verse 2] Ancient blood remembers The trial, the fire A young heart earns its truth By climbing higher So I take the burden And I take the lead I become the answer That I always need [Pre-Chorus] Then a voice inside me said "Step through the frame" If the world won’t see it I will speak my name Every wound can open Every lock can turn I was never empty I was here to learn [Chorus] I am my true name I am my true name (turn the key now) I am my true name I am my true name (hear it ring out) No more borrowed chains No more silent blame I was born to rise I am my true name [Bridge] When the door swings open There’s nobody there Just the life I claimed And the breath I bear Not the mask they handed Not the role they made I was always sunlight Underneath the shade [Final Chorus] I am my true name I am my true name (turn the key now) I am my true name I am my true name (hear it ring out) No more borrowed chains No more silent blame I was born to rise I am my true name I am my true name I am my true name I am my true name
