The veil
They say, oh, poor girl, you're so beautifull, you know,
It's a shame that you cover up your beauty so.
She just smile and graciously responds reassuringly
This beauty that I have it's just one simple part of me,
This body that I have, no stranger has the right to see.
This long clothes, this shawl I wear, ensure my modesty.
Faith is more essential than fashion, wouldn't you agree?
This hijab,
this mark of piety,
it's an act of faith, a symbol,
for all the world to see,
A simple cloth to protect her dignity,
So left the veil from your heart , to see the heart of purity.
They tell her, Girl, don't you know,
This is the west, and you are free?
You don't need to be oppressed, ashamed of your femininity.
She just shakes her had and
She speakes so assuredly,
See the bill-boards and the magazines
that line the check-out isles,
with their phony painted faces and their
air-brushed smiles?
Well, their sheere clothes and low cut gowns
They are realy not for me,
You call it freedom, I call it anarchy.
This hijab,
this mark of piety,
it's an act of faith, a symbol,
for all the world to see,
A simple cloth to protect her dignity,
So left the veil from your heart , to see the heart of purity.
So left the veil from your heart , to see the heart of purity.
