Give Me Back My Name

Track A2
 
[Verse 1] There's a word for it And words don't mean a thing There's a name for it And names make all the difference in the world [Chorus] Some things can never be spoken Some things cannot be pronounced That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth [Verse 2] Let X make a statement Let breath pass through those cracked lips That man was my hero And now that word has been taken from us [Chorus] Some things can never be spoken Some things cannot be pronounced That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth [Verse 3] Give me back my name Give me back my name Something has been changed in my life Something has been changed in my life Something must be returned to us Something must be returned to us That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth Give me back my name Give me back my name Something has been changed in my life Something has been changed in my life Something must be returned to us Something must be returned to us
