I’m on my way, just another day and I’ll be
Far from strong, but long gone from her name
Given to her at birth, letters that make up one word
That would prefer to never say again
Look how far I’ve come, running from her name
Like running from the sun, running from her name
A name
There’s things that tie her to me, a thing that will always be
So that we can never change or even try to deny
A name that she & I chose, letters all in a row
That a young son will forever be defined
Look how far he’s gone, running from our name
Like running from the sun, running from our name
A name
Look how far I’ve come, running from her name
Look how far he’s gone, running from our name
Like running from the sun, running from a name
Just a name
A Name
