when i was a little child,[00:00:30]
i'd escape into my head[00:00:34]
and into the heads of authors[00:00:38]
through the magic words i read[00:00:42]
i'd be many different people,[00:00:45]
each one braver than myself[00:00:49]
then i wouldn't feel his weight[00:00:53]
and i wouldn't hear them yell[00:00:57]
when they asked me at the shelter,[00:01:01]
if my father touched me there[00:01:05]
i dreamt with my eyes open,[00:01:09]
mute i shook my hair[00:01:13]
the truth was just too painful[00:01:16]
and i did not trust their care[00:01:20]
only years and cities later[00:01:24]
could i lay the facts out bare[00:01:28]
aoh..aho..aho..ye..ha..[00:01:32]
he took from me ten years of childhood,[00:01:47]
spent three years in jail at most[00:01:51]
how can a country's code of justice[00:01:55]
be such a world away from just?[00:01:59]
mother says she still loves him,[00:02:03]
tells me that i'm doing fine,[00:02:06]
that he needs her more than i do,[00:02:10]
so i really should not mind[00:02:14]
now i'm supposed to be all grown up,[00:02:48]
i escape into these songs[00:02:53]
i still hide inside those books[00:02:57]
when i'm really feeling down[00:03:00]
shame like a stalker haunts me[00:03:04]
he may never go away[00:03:08]
but i won't be sad,[00:03:12]
i won't let him steal my joy[00:03:15]
when he tells me i am worthless,[00:03:20]
i sing out anyway[00:03:24]
cause i won't be sad or silent[00:03:28]
i won't let him steal my joy[00:03:31]
he tells me i am worthless,[00:03:36]
but i sing out anyway[00:03:39]
cause i won't be sad[00:03:43]
i won't let him steal my joy[00:03:46]
i won't be sad i won't be silent[00:03:51]
i won't let him steal my joy[00:03:55]
