marks upon my body
secrets i can't tell
symbol of oppression
cast under a spell
stole my independence
turned me to a slave
i won't be afraid again
bound me with your violence
scarred me with your brand
forced me into silence
i had to take a stand
call me by my name
i won't be ashamed
i won't be a afraid again
i am a survivor
i will break the chain
i belong to no-one
call me by my name
love hope bravery
free from slavery
i won't be afraid again
