RAISE YOUR SHIELD

Don't secret
Away your beauty
Don't hide behind
A veil of shame
Hold your shield
Like a warrior
Leave their scorn
to ricochet

When reserved
Was common practice
You may have had
Disdain to fear
They are heartless
And judgmental
They're surely not
Worth any tears

~~~*Chorus*~~~
She's disgusting
She's a Freak
She can't act
And she can't sing
Spoiled goods
She's all fake
More than any girl can take
Consider who's condemning
Never yield
Don't you shroud your pretty
Raise your shield
~~*~~

They will try 
To make you ugly
If you hide
They will succeed
Leave mistakes
And keep on walking
Bare the beauty
That we've seen

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Raise your shield to their swords
Let them know they are ignored
Make your peace and free your spirit
Once again
Don't let them win
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
She's disgusting
She's a Freak
She can't act
And she can't sing
Spoiled goods
She's all fake
More than any girl can take
Consider who's condemning
Never yield
Don't you shroud your pretty
Raise your shield
~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~
There's not a soul who hasn't stumbled
Crossing life's titanic field
You can't let yourself be beaten
To the hateful raise a shield
Never yield
Raise your shield
~~*~~

  1. This is so wonderful, as usual, you always speak for those who can't.
