lyrics

God is a storyteller
A lover composing a letter
And every word is hope and light and glory
This is the awesome endeavor
Justice that flows forever
But fear and shame will interrupt the story

Shame is a blight on our vision
Implicates us in vain competition
The imprint of fear on our hearts is how it all starts to break down
So we’re set on a course for collision
We succumb to the way of division
All of us bullies and victims on the playground

I’m not ashamed
I will not cave
My spirit rises,
I am brave
I shed the mark
Burned on my heart
My hope remains,
I am not ashamed

The liars implore you to listen
Subvert you with artful suspicion
Who wouldn’t chase after heaven when living feels like hell?
So they call you a name of derision
Instead of the one you were given
But, please, remember your life is not their story to tell

I’m not ashamed
I will not cave
My spirit rises,
I am brave
I shed the mark
Burned on my heart
My hope remains,
I am not ashamed

I got, nothing to even hide no more
I’m gonna come out from right behind closed doors
Take the mark that burned upon my heart, I let it go and left it right behind those doors
I’m so much more, than what they said
Remembering who I am instead
I left the shame and kept the grace
To keep my soul I left the race
Set my pace to eliminate the hustling of my worth is not a mistake I will make
Resistance leads to suffering so it’s no wondering it is the one thing that I will not take on
I will stay strong finding freedom when I play songs
Take wrongs and make them right then as I write my life will play on
Every note rise up until the shame gone

I’m not ashamed
I will not cave
My spirit rises,
I am brave
I shed the mark
Burned on my heart
My hope remains,
My hope remains

I’m not ashamed
I will not cave
My spirit rises,
I am brave
I shed the mark
Burned on my heart
My hope remains,
I am not ashamed
