Chris De Burgh - Read My Name lyrics

For every child that has been born there is a chance to shine

And everyone can have a dream until the end of time

So live for every moment as the world keeps turning round

And lift your hands up to the sky and say it loud and proud

"I have been here, read my name, read my name"

For every child that has been born there is a chance in life

To try it all and be someone with what we have inside

So don't give up and don't give in, just give it all instead

And raise your voice above the crowd and let them know

You've said "I have been here, read my name, read my name

With all I've got I've taken part, I've made a difference

To the world, I have been here just read my name"

Endlessly amazing and inventive that we are,

We dive the deepest oceans and we reach out for the stars

And one day there will be a man across the universe

Who'll say "I come from planet Earth" and these will

Be his words; "I have been here, read my name, read my name

With all I've got I've taken part, I've made a

Difference to the world, I have been here, just read my name"

And when the darkness has to fall and comes the end of days Then lift your hands up to the sky and say it once again

"I have been here and I have taken part

I've made a difference to the world I have been here

Just read my name"

"I have been here, just read my name

I've taken part, reach for the stars

Across the universal, we come from planet Earth"
