Names

Names are what we're called
Names are how we're known
We use them to refer to us
Names are ours to own

Names are super special
Names should make us proud
Names grab our attention
When they're called aloud
Help us stand out from the crowd
We're all different, not the same
That's the power of our names

Jordan, Noel
Gordon, Joel
Ameena, Paul
Tina, Raul
Yasmin, Emma
Jasmine, Gemma
Tell me your name when you meet me
Tell me your name when you greet me

Names are our titles
Our tags
Our monikers
Our designations
Our labels
Our signatures
Our identification
Paddington's a bear's name
And a London railway station's
You'll see my name when you look
At the cover of my book

Our names are with us all the time
Maybe yours is 'Neal' as well
That's fine if it's your name too
Nobody can take it away from you
We'll keep our names till we're old and grey
Sticking to us like chewing gum each day

So what's your name? 
Shout it out to me
After this countdown
One...
Two...
Three...
.................................!

Names are what we're called
Names are how we're known
People use them to refer to us
Names are ours to own
