Free |
| What goes through your mind? |
| As you sit there looking at me |
| Well I can tell from your looks |
| That you think I’m so oppressed |
| But I don’t need for you to liberate me |
| My head is not bare |
| And you can’t see my covered hair |
| So you sit there and you stare |
| And you judge me with your glare |
| You’re sure I’m in despair |
| But are you not aware |
| Under this scarf that I wear |
| I have feelings, and I do care |
| So don’t you see? |
| That I’m truly free |
| This piece of scarf on me |
| I wear so proudly |
| To preserve my dignity… |
| My modesty |
| My integrity |
| So don’t judge me |
| Open your eyes and see… |
| «Why can’t you just accept me?» |
| she says |
| «Why can’t I just be me?» |
| she says |
| Time and time again |
| You speak of democracy |
| Yet you rob me of my liberty |
| All I want is equality |
| Why can’t you just let me be free? |
| For you I sing this song |
| My sister, may you always be strong |
| From you I’ve learnt so much |
| How you suffer so much |
| Yet you forgive those who laugh at you |
| You walk with no fear |
| Through the insults you hear |
| Your wish so sincere |
| That they’d understand you |
| But before you walk away |
| This time you turn and say: |
| But don’t you see? |
| That I’m truly free |
| This piece of scarf on me |
| I wear so proudly |
| To preserve my dignity |
| My modesty |
| My integrity |
| So let me be |
| She says with a smile |
| I’m the one who’s free |
