What's in a name besides just what you're called? Is it what you've been? Or what you still are? What's in a face besides your smiling eyes? Like your shining mind or your love of wine Do you remember how you used to be? Now you are different, but your name tag doesn't agree It's only a shell It's just as well That it doesn't dictate you at all You're no piece of paper from the city hall All I can figure is who I am now Don't ask of tomorrow as if I know somehow It wasn't long ago I realized my prospects aren't waiting, they're as close as my heart allows It's only a shell It's just as well That it doesn't dictate you at all You're no piece of paper from the city hall Is it a guideline Is it a theme Just a suggestion or a category Just pretty adornments before you can see what you really can be
