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
I stay true
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
I stay 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
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]
[Chorus]
