Unashamed
by Memphis May Fire

Album: This Light I Hold

Verse 1
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!

Chorus
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

Verse 2
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

Chorus
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

Bridge
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

Outro
(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!
