The Bearing - Hello, My Name Is

Keep your head down for the moment
Walk a straight and narrow line
Check in early on a Monday and on Friday leave on time
But at some point you feel dirty
Wash that painting smile off your face
And step into the weekend as a member of the human race
Hello, my name is
Where are you from?
Do you come here often?
I'm not sure that I belong
But I can feel the evening sun warming my soul
Giving me faith that it's worth it to go on
Doing my thing, figuring out as I go along
Tenderly we gaze into the future
Nothing can confuse you
So much as love for who you are
All that potential and loving is essential
For who you'll become
For who you'll become
Feel a door slam shut behind me
One-way mirrors for the walls
And I can find no other opening
It's your court, and I've no balls
If we were born in a different country
Wonder who we'd choose to be
And if we were told our days were numbered
Wonder who we'd choose to see
Hello, my name is
Where are you from?
Do you come here often?
I'm not sure that I belong
But I can feel the evening sun warming my soul
Giving me faith that it's worth it to go on
Doing my thing, figuring out as I go along
Tenderly we gaze into the future
Nothing can confuse you
So much as love for who you are
All that potential and loving is essential
To who you'll become
Doesn't matter how you got here
It's all part of your identity
Try to honour it then move on
Unless you just want to hit 'repeat'
You wouldn't be the first to shoot the breeze about free will's tease
While on a date with destiny
Education, education
Tell them once, then tell them twice
With what we're preaching to the nation
It's no wonder we don't play nice
'Coz we know all about the Battle of Hastings
Some Shakespeare and geometry
But values, they be 'home-schooled'
Better call up health and safety
Hello, my name is
Where are you from?
Do you come here often?
I'm not sure that I belong
And I can feel the evening sun warming my soul
Giving me faith that it's worth it to go on
Doing my thing, figuring out as I go along
Tenderly we gaze into the future
Nothing can confuse you
So much as love for who you are
All that potential and loving is essential
Tenderly we gaze into the future
Nothing can confuse you
So much as love for who you are
All that potential and loving is essential
For who you'll become
For who You'll become
