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 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 (I'm not ashamed),
So why should I hide and wait for someone else to say the word?
There is nothing to be afraid of (I'm not afraid),
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 (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 (I'm not ashamed),
So why should I hide and wait for someone else to say the word?
There is nothing to be afraid of (I'm not afraid),
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 (being hated),
But I just can't bear the weight
Of a life that's wasted. I won't waste it, no!
If I stare right into their eyes
And never say a word,
I gave up on who I'm to be (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, hey!)
I've got nothing to be ashamed of (I'm not ashamed),
So why should I hide and wait for someone else to say the word?
There is nothing to be afraid of (I'm not afraid),
So I'll spend my life speaking what I know needs to be heard.
I've got nothing to be ashamed of (I've got nothing to be ashamed),
So why should I hide and wait for someone else to say the word?
Until my dying day, I will be unashamed!
