Free Lyrics

Free - Sami Yusuf

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 amor no

For you

To liberate to 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 ooo

Ooo ohh

Why can't you just

Accept me she says

Ooo

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
