We Will Not Be Shamed

Through the hurt and the rage

We stand tall in the rain

We turn a new page

Nobody keeps us in a cage

We alone can clear the skies

Stronger than the monsters who attack

You know I've got your back

And you know

We will not be shamed

No matter what the cost

We don't get tossed

We never get lost

All along feeling like

We will not be shamed

This song is for you

The many and the few

Just trying to get through

We will not be shamed

Scar written in the name

We are forever changed

Cowards who throw the blame

But we don't own it

We don't claim

Climbing out of the pits of mud

Stronger than the monsters who attacked

You know I've got your back

And you know

We will not be shamed

The battered and the bruised

The tired and the used

From ruined to renewed

You know you're not alone and

We will not be shamed

Reverse the tragedy

We set ourselves free

Deciding who we'll be

We shout loud for ourselves

Loud for our brothers and sisters

And daughters and sons

We refuse to run

We will not be shamed

We will not be shamed

And you know

We will not be shamed

No matter what the cost

We don't get tossed

We never get lost

All along feeling like

We will not be shamed

This song is for you

The many and the few

Just trying to get through

And you know

We will not be shamed

The battered and the bruised

The tired and the used

From ruined to renewed

You know you're not alone and

We will not be shamed

Reverse the tragedy

We set ourselves free

Deciding who we'll be

We will not be shamed
