No Shame Songtext
von Po' Girl

When I was a little child, I′d escape into my head
And into the heads of authors through the magic words I read
I'd be many different people, each one braver than myself
Then I wouldn′t feel his weight and I wouldn't hear them yell

When they asked me at the shelter, if my father touched me there
I dreamt with my eyes open, mute I shook my hair
The truth was just too painful and I did not trust their care
Only years and cities later could I lay the facts out bare


He took from me ten years of childhood, spent three years in jail at most
How can a country's code of justice be such a world away from just?
Mother says she still loves him, tells me that I′m doing fine
That he needs her more than I do, so I really should not mind

Now I′m supposed to be all grown up, I escape into these songs
I still hide inside those books when I'm really feeling down
Shame like a stalker haunts me he may never go away
But I won′t be sad, I won't be silent, I won′t let him steal my joy

When he tells me I am worthless, I sing out anyway
'Cause I won′t be sad or silent, I won't let him steal my joy
He tells me I am worthless, but I sing out anyway
'Cause I won′t be sad, I won′t be silent, I won't let him steal my joy
I won′t be sad, I won't be silent, I won′t let him steal my joy
