lyrics

Verse 1:
As I fell I watched his fist retreat
to his body
poised for more

And as I hit the ground
my eyes met his
and I'd never felt more sure

But instead of holding me down
he gave me a chance
with but four words

"Have you had enough?", he said
and I stood up and bled
and with a steady voice I promised that

Chorus:
Oh I swear someday
I'll make something of myself

That my starry eyes
won't flutter by
and leave me parched at the well

Oh I'd sell my soul
to the devil
for a chance at easy fame

But I've not met him yet
so keep my promise that
someday
you'll know my name

Verse 2:
As his eyes met mine
they opened wide
cause they saw I spoke the truth

That I'll come out on top
and I'll never stop
even if right now I lose

And as he tried to swing
across the ring
I saw his punch lose its drive

And as his hands dropped
and the fighting stopped
he looked at me and sighed:

Chorus 2:
Oh I know someday
you'll make something of yourself

That hands like mine
can't take your shine
even the simplest could tell

That you'll never need
to sell your soul to the devil or noone else
cause I see that drive
in a matter of time
will mean that someday
we'll all know your name

Verse 3 (acapella):
And we both walked away
mostly unscathed
from the fight he almost won

And I turned my cheek
from the sound of his feet
with a realization

You see it doesn't matter who knows my name
if I walk in my truth

So I've made a vow
from then til now
that that's what I'm gonna do

Oh and someday
maybe you'll know my name
