lyrics

In my Name © Dawn Barrington 2018

Verse 1
Are you to the left? Or are you to the right?
Are you willing to stand up Yeah stand up and fight?
For what you believe in For what you have to say
Or are you willing to look the other way?

Verse 2
I’ve been watching very carefully indeed
Hearing heavy conversations that change the way I feel
People are coming together for the common good
They’re creating a ripple and getting understood

Chorus
Yeah in my name, in the air that I breathe
In the words that I say x 2

Verse 3
They’re making a wave A wave so great
Wash over the nation And open up the gate
What it the truth were gonna set you free
and only the cursed were ever gonna see

Chorus
Yeah in my name, in the air that I breathe
In the words that I say x 2

Chorus
Yeah in my name, in the air that I breathe
In the words that I say x 2
