[Verse 1]
Name in the paper
Face in the frame
People say “victim”
But that’s not her name
Dehradun river
Cold as that night
They broke every promise
Then blamed her for the fight
[Chorus]
This is not her shame
This is not her story to carry alone
Say their names
Say their pain
Turn every whisper into a storm
She is not the scar
She is not the stain on your state’s good name
This is not her shame
This is not her shame
[Verse 2]
Thirteen in a classroom
Maths on the board
Trust in the teacher
Shattered on the floor
Six years old in Delhi
Just learned to write
Walked out for sweets
Didn’t make it home that night
[Chorus]
This is not her shame
This is not her story to carry alone
Say their names
Say their pain
Turn every whisper into a storm
She is not the scar
She is not the stain on your state’s good name
This is not her shame
This is not her shame
[Bridge]
Trainee in white coat
Dreaming of rounds
Hands that should heal her
Forced her to the ground
How many headlines
Till laws have teeth
How many candles
Till we burn this belief
[Chorus]
This is not her shame
This is not her story to carry alone
Say their names
Change this game
From quiet mourning to a roar
She is not the scar
She is the question we write on the door
“Are you safe? Are you seen?”
Till the answer isn’t war
This is not her shame
This is not her shame
