FOR WOMAN, LIFE, LIBERTY For dancing in the allies and the streets, For the thrill and the fear of getting caught kissing For my sister, my brother, and unity For all the times we tried to change their minds and stale beliefs For the loss of pride, and poverty For the dream of just a normal life for you and me For all the children who are starving for a loaf of bread For the greed of politics and all the lies they spread For all the mass-polluted air we breathe, For all the litter in the streets and all the dying trees For all the animals who suffer from elimination For all the cats and dogs who love us without no conditions For all the tears that seem to never end For all the images that keep on turning in our heads For a simple smile, for just a little while For the future generations fighting for their time For empty promises of heaven in the after-life For all the imprisonment of beautiful minds For all the babies who are born and for the ones who died For all the times you told the truth, and all the times you lied For all the speeches that we heard about a million times For all the shacks and shelters that were sold to make a dime For just a glimpse of a peaceful life, For the rising of the sun after an endless night For all the pills we pop just to get some sleep For all mankind, for our country For all the boys and girls who never knew equality For woman, for life, liberty. | For dancing on the streets yes so free for fear when we're kissing our loved ones on the streets for my sister, your sister, our sisters for changing their rusted minds for the shame of poverty and empty hands for the regret of living a normal life for the child labor and they're crushed dreams for this dictatorial economy brother for all the all of this polluted air for Valasr and its dying trees that's not fair for the endangered cheetahs and the fear of extinction for the innocent illegal dogs that have been killed f or ours unstoppable tears for the image of repeating this moment of fear for the smiling faces for the student and for their own future for this forced Heaven of theirs for the imprisonment of geniuses for our afghan children for all these "for's" that are beyond repetition for all these meaningless and nonsensical promises for the collapse of buildings for peace and Serenity for the sunrise after all those scary nights for anxiety and all of the sleeping pills for mankind fatherland prosperity for the girl who wished that she was born a boy instead for woman life for Liberty for Liberty for Liberty for Liberty |
