Kawehi - Neda lyrics

You know you're screwed when you're walking on shells And fire's burning like a demon from hell In your lungs, to your tongue When a teacher does his best to protect But still a bullet finds its way to her chest She said, "Burning, I'm burning!" Feel the earth rumble no one's safe - On the streets of Tehran You can take my eyes But leave your stones in your gardens Your rivers, your roads You can take my eyes You can claim that the way I dress Is offensive to your God They want you gone and silent Declare you a martyr and let the streets run violent Do your best to comply A pension for your lies They said "Neda, don't be afraid, don't be afraid" "Neda, stay with me, stay!" You can take my eyes But leave your stones in your gardens Your rivers, your roads You can take my eyes You can claim that the way I dress Is offensive to your God I am responsible I know that now The laws are so simple; You let what you allow I know that now A voice should be heard You showed me why and how "Neda, don't be afraid, don't be afraid" "Neda, stay with me, stay!" You can take my eyes But leave your stones in your gardens Your rivers, your roads You can take my eyes You can claim that the way I dress Is offensive to your God
