My Name
From Ashes to New
Letra

Almost all my life
They told me that I couldn't
Dreaming every night
They told me that I shouldn't
Told me that I should've quit
That I'll never finish it
That I'll never reach the top
And no one knows that I exist

But I kept climbing
Kept grinding every day
And I kept writing
Everything I had to say
Now they wanna shut me up
Shut me in, shut me out
Yeah I'd be mad to
If someone made me shut my mouth

But it's different
When you never had a voice
When no one ever listened
So you never had a choice
Never had a path
Only people in your way
Never had a mask
Or a reason to be fake
All you had was you

And a reason to succeed
All you had to do
Was keep believing in the dream
All you ever knew was being weak
And on your knees
But you're only gonna lose
If you don't learn from your defeats
(Yeah, gotta make the world know my name)

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out
And I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I wish I could go back
Back when we were kids
When everything had passion
With everything we did
Everything was honest
Everything that we were promised
And the thought of what we wanted
Is what makes it so ironic
That it's different
Than the shit that we were told
How the rules were written
How the story really goes
Everyone's your friend
Give everyone a chance
So everyone pretends
That they really give a damn
Man that
Nothing's ever what it seems
People stepping over people
People praying on the weak
Cause it's business
And we're feeding the machine
Time is money, money's living
So we live with the disease
What happened to the magic
What happened to the thrill
What happened to the passion
The way we used to feel
All we see is fashion
Fame and dollar bills
And now I'm looking back
I wish the world I saw was real

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out
And I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I woke up one day
With the world outside
Telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break
That's how I know it
Everything will be okay
I woke up one day
With the world outside
Telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break
That's how I know it
Everything will be okay
I woke up one day
With the world outside
Telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break
I'll make the world know my name

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out
And I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I woke up one day
With the world outside
Telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break
I'll make the world know my name
I woke up one day
With the world outside
Telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break
I'll make the world know my name
