The Lyrics
Dedicated to 16 yr old Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan who last year on Oct 9, 2012 was shot in the face by the Taliban that vowed to kill her for her fight for gender equality in education. She and her family now reside in the UK but she continues her fight against the Taliban that vow to try to kill her again. She has been online with a BBC blog, been interviewed by foreign journalists, and has spoken at the UN. She remains an unstoppable force for good in this world and in her language is called "The Face of Courage."
She sat there waiting
bus stopped- something was wrong
held hands with students praying
for Malala to remain strong
Her face on foreign TV
Brave child crusader,
Taliban with opposing view:
A West-leaning traitor
She suffered a gunshot, gunshot, gunshot
She suffered a gunshot- was a death plot,
Bus stopped, a gunshot- was a death plot
Lived for Paki school gender equality
Then gunshot, gunshot, gunshot…
She lost a lot of blood
(slumped into friend-down)
Fired were three shots, but she stood tough
(lives to move crowds)
She lost a lot of blood
(slumped into friend-down)
Fired were three shots, but she stood tough
(lives to move crowds)
The word got out
(fired were three shots, but she stood tough)
Gunshots, gunshots
The word got out
(fired were three shots, but she stood tough)
Gunshots, gunshots
She was taken to the UK,
was up within a week
Failed to kill her, let the world know,
to the UN she (later) gave a speech
Not giving in to goons,
Still pressing for equality
To kill her the Taliban has vowed,
Yet millions have heard her pleas
She suffered a gunshot, gunshot, gunshot
She suffered a gunshot- was a death plot,
Bus stopped, a gunshot- was a death plot
Lived for Paki school gender equality
Then gunshot, gunshot, gunshot…
She lost a lot of blood
(slumped into friend-down)
Fired were three shots, but she stoodtough
(lives to move crowds)
She lost a lot of blood
(slumped into friend-down)
Fired were three shots, but she stood tough
(lives to move crowds)
The word got out
(fired were three shots, but she stood tough)
Gunshots, gunshots
The word got out
(fired were three shots, but she stood tough)
Gunshots, gunshots
Teen!
Stood tough!
Teen!
Stood tough- wow!
Teen!
She suffered a gunshot, gunshot, gunshot
She suffered a gunshot- was death plot,
Bus stopped, a gunshot- was a death plot
Lived for Paki school gender equality
Then gunshot, gunshot, gunshot…
She lost a lot of blood
(slumped into friend-down)
Fired were three shots, but she stood tough
(lives to move crowds)
She lost a lot of blood
(slumped into friend-down)
Fired were three shots, but she stood tough
(lives to move crowds)
Lives to move crowds!
(fired were three shots, but she stood tough)
Lives to move crowds!
Lives to move crowds!
(fired were three shots, but stood tough)
Nobody’s gonna hold her down!!!
MALALA!!!
