What's Your Name?

What's Your Name?
Words and Music © Matthew Giffin

Well, the world is full of people
Wherever you may go
Of every colour, shape and size
From young to very old
And every single person
Has a special point of view
A way of seeing, a way of being
Hello! How are you?

What’s your name?
What’s your name?
Please won’t you tell me,
What’s your name?

Well, a name is like a story
And a story tells a tale
Of who you are and where you’re from
And stories never fail
To bring us on a journey
To a place where we can know
To understand each other
Come on now, let’s go!

What’s your name?
What’s your name?
Please won’t you tell me,
What’s your name?

A name can come from history
Or someone in your family
Of one who may inspire
You to fly much higher
Or maybe from the spirit world
A legendary hero, boy or girl
Just like you
Imagine all the things that you could do!

If we can know each other
Then we can find our way
Through any deep dark forest
So let us not delay
To start our great adventure
It’s easy, don’t you know
Just turn to the person next to you
Smile and say hello!

What’s your name?
What’s your name?
Please won’t you tell me,
What’s your name?
