Lyrics

[Intro]

Two hands

One drum

Bare feet

Here I come

[claps start in a steady pattern]

[Verse 1]

They wrote my name in crooked chalk

On every broken wall in town

Spun wild tales in every talk

Tried to drag my spirit down

But I stitched my doubts

In a red wool coat

Pulled it tight around my chest

Said

“If truth’s all I’ve really got

Then truth will be my only crest”

[Chorus]

Heart like a riot

I won’t lie quiet

Beat of my chest

That’s my war drum

Try it

You throw your stones

I’ll dance right through

I stay true

[gang vocals] Hey!

Heart like a riot

You can’t buy it

Fire in my ribs and I won’t deny it

Say what you want

I know what’s true

I stay true

[Verse 2]

They called me wild

They called me wrong

For laughing loud

For standing tall

They shook their keys to drown my song

But the floor shook more from my footfall

I drink my shame

From an empty glass

Let it spill out on the floor

If my hands are clean when the day’s all done

Why would I ever beg for more?

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[call-and-response

Claps building]

Who told you that you’re too much? (Too much!)

Who told you you’re not enough? (Not enough!)

Who profits when your voice is hushed?

Not us

So up with the bruised and the blamed (the blamed)

Up with the cursed and the named (the named)

If they set your story aflame

Dance in the smoke

Unashamed

[crescendo

Harmonies soaring]
