Please Call Me By My True Names

Song with key lines from the poem by Thay.

Song - Please Call Me by My True Names

Lyrics of the song:

My joy is like spring, so warm,
It makes flowers bloom all over the Earth.
My pain is like a river of tears,
So vast it fills the four oceans.

Please call me by my true names
So I can hear all my cries and laughter at once,
So I can hear that my joy and pain are one.

Please call me by my true names
So that I can wake up,
And the door of my heart can be left open.

(Instrumental interlude, then repeating the words and music)

My joy is like spring, so warm,
It makes flowers bloom all over the Earth.
My pain is like a river of tears,
So vast it fills the four oceans.

Please call me by my true names
So I can hear all my cries and laughter at once,
So I can hear that my joy and pain are one.

Please call me by my true names
So that I can wake up,
And the door of my heart can be left open.
