I was born with no chance at life

Dead before I took my first breath

I was born with no family ties

Alone before I knew where I lived

They called me broken

Worthless and a shame

They called me wasted

Used up and chained

But you made me your child

And you called me your own

Now they can call me

But they've got to

Use my new name

My new name

My new name

I walked miles

And couldn't find a home

There was no place that I belonged

I walked for days and days

And weeks and years

Couldn't find a melody for my song

They called me broken

Worthless and a shame

They called me wasted

Used up and chained

But you made me your child

And you called me your own

Now they can call me

But they've got to

Use my new name

My new name

My new name

I don't need money

I don't need fame

I don't need the love

That this world can bring

I don't need this prison

I don't need these chains

I needed a father

And child is my new name

They called me broken

Worthless and a shame

They called me wasted

Used up and chained

But you made me your child

And you called me your own

Now they can call me

But they've got to

Use my new name

My new name

My new name

My new name

My new name

My new name

My new name

My new name
