Unashamed

(album: This Light I Hold - 2016)

I see a world running in circles
They don't know what they're chasing
They find the pain with the money and fame
Looking for love in all the wrong places
I see the look on their face, I think they're about to cave in
I can't just stand by and wait
Hoping that somehow they make it out
So here I go!

I've got nothing to be ashamed of
So why should I hide and wait for someone else to say the word?
There is nothing to be afraid of
So I'll spend my life speaking what I know needs to be heard

They hide their pain, and embrace the darkness
Alone and what they're facing
If I keep quiet while I watch them dying
I am no different than the demons that they're fighting

I've got nothing to be ashamed of
So why should I hide and wait for someone else to say the word?
There is nothing to be afraid of
So I'll spend my life speaking what I know needs to be heard
I will illuminate with every word I say
Until my dying day I will be unashamed

I am no stranger to the pain of being hated
But I just can't bear the weight of a life that's wasted.
I won't waste it!

If I stare right into their eyes and never say a word
I gave up on who I'm to be
If I don't share this love I've found, I am the one to blame
This is not my secret to keep

I've got nothing to be ashamed of
I've got nothing to be ashamed of
So why should I hide and wait for someone else to say the word?
There is nothing to be afraid of
So I'll spend my life speaking what I know needs to be heard

I've got nothing to be ashamed of
So why should I hide and wait for someone else to say the word?
Until my dying day, I will be unashamed!
