Lyrics
Verse 1
Someone called my name from down the hall,
And something in me didn’t move at all.
The sound hung in the air like drifting dust—
Familiar, but it didn’t feel like “us.”
I stood still as the echo settled round,
And for the first time ever
My name was just a sound.
Chorus
Oh, Naomi isn’t me,
It’s a lighthouse on the sea—
A signal that the world learned how to send.
It’s a tag, it’s a sign,
It’s a label over time,
But the truth behind my eyes don’t have an end.
Oh, Naomi isn’t me—
It’s a name the world calls out to find a friend.
Verse 2
I whispered it alone inside my room,
Let the syllables fall soft into the gloom.
Felt the body twitch the way it always did,
A reflex from when I was just a kid.
How quickly we mistake what we’ve been taught—
A little sound gets woven
Through every single thought.
Chorus
Oh, Naomi isn’t me,
It’s a lighthouse on the sea—
A signal that the world learned how to send.
It’s a tag, it’s a sign,
It’s a label over time,
But the truth behind my eyes don’t have an end.
Oh, Naomi isn’t me—
It’s a name the world calls out to find a friend.
Bridge
All the love and all the warnings,
Every shout across the yard—
Every whisper in the morning
Wrote my name into my heart.
But the one who hears it softly,
Standing barefoot on the ground—
She’s the quiet, nameless presence
That no name has ever found.
Verse 3
So call me what you’ve always called me, love—
It still works in the language that we speak of.
But just know when I turn my face to you,
I’m turning from a place that’s wide and true.
A place untouched by every name I’ve known,
A space that’s always lived
Beneath the flesh and bone.
Final Chorus
No, Naomi isn’t me,
It’s a lighthouse on the sea—
A signal that the world learned how to send.
It’s a tag, it’s a sign,
It’s a label over time,
But the one who stands here now don’t need pretend.
Oh, Naomi isn’t me—
It’s the sound the world calls out
When it wants a friend.
Outro
Just a sound…
Only a sound…
And the life behind it
Silent and unbound.
