Lyrics

Spent to day in a con ver sa tion in the mir ror, face to face with some bod y less than per fect.

I would n’t choose me first if (G5)I was look ing for a champ ion.

In fact, I’d un der stand if (Em)You picked ev ’ry one be fore me.

But that’s just not my sto ry.

(G)True to who You (D)are, You saw my (Em)heart and made some thing out of noth ing.

So, I don’t need my name in lights; I’m fa mous in my Fa ther’s eyes.

Make no mis take, He knows my name.

I’m not liv ing for ap plause; I’m al read y so a dored.

It’s all His stage.

He knows my name.

(Oh, oh.)

He knows my name.

(Oh, oh.)

(G5)I’m not meant to just stay qui et, I’m meant to be a li on.

I’ll roar be yond a song with ev ’ry mo ment that I’ve got.

(G)True to who You (Bm)are, You saw my (Em)heart and made some thing out of noth ing.

(Oh, oh.)

He calls me cho sen, free, for giv en,

want ed, child of the King, His for ev er, held and treas ured.

(C5)I am (G)loved.

I don’t need my name in lights;

I’m fa mous in my Fa ther’s eyes.

I don’t need my name in lights; I’m fa mous in my Fa ther’s eyes.

Make no mis take, He knows my name.

I’m not liv ing for ap plause; I’m al read y so a dored.

It’s all His stage.

He knows my name.

(Oh, oh.)

He knows my name.

(Oh, oh.)

He knows my name.
