I don?t call you by your darkest secret
I don?t call you by your loneliness
The reasons you hide away from the light
They could never make me love you less
I don?t call you by your broken family
I don?t call you by what you can?t change
The past like a cloud can chase you around
But hear my voice whisper through the rain
I know your story
I wrote every line
Planned every step that you?ll take
Lift up your head
And believe what I say
I don?t call you by your guilt or shame
I call you by name
By name
All the voices in your head are lying
They?re saying this is how it?s always gonna be
But they?re all gonna bow at the strong, tender sound
When I tell you who you are to me
I know your story
I wrote every line
Planned every step that you?ll take
Lift up your head
And believe what I say
I don?t call you by your guilt or shame
I call you by name
Beloved, forgiven
And bought at a price
My son, my daughter
Forever you?re mine
I don?t call you by your darkest secret
I don?t call you anything but loved
I know your story
I wrote every line
Planned every step that you?ll take
Lift up your head
And believe what I say
I don?t call you by your guilt or shame
I don?t call you by your guilt or shame
I call you by name
By name
