You thought that it could never happen
To all the people that you became
Your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame
But here, right here
Between the birthmark and the stain
Between the ocean and your open vein
Between the snowman and the rain
Once again, once again
Love calls you by your name
The women in your scrapbook
Whom you still praise and blame
You say they chained you to your fingernails
Isaiah 43:1 : “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.”
Love Calls You by Your Name
