MALALA

Malala 
By: Allison2020 with posthumous contributions by Doug Midgley

 


Shot guns and holy water 
Bless us now, protect our daughters 
Not from the woman she will become 
But from the lies that keep them down 


Malala Malala Malala ah
Shining light like she's the sun
A piece of her inside everyone 
Malala Malala Malala ah  
Defy oppression, defend girls
Spread education throughout the whole world
The world 


Empower girls to find their voice 
To speak their minds and make some noise 
Hate is all that love destroys
And human rights are not a choice
Rights are not choice 
No, no, no, no 


Malala Malala Malala ah
Shining light like she's the sun
A piece of her inside everyone 
Malala Malala Malala ah  
Defy oppression, defend girls
Spread education throughout the whole world


Existing and living are such different things 
It's the loss before winning that gives way to wings 
Hold onto hope like the clouds to the sky 
Let it be love that sets our daughters free to fly 
Set our daughters free to fly
Set our daughters free to fly

“I would like to thank my parents for their unconditional love. Thank you to my Father for not clipping my wings and for letting me fly” 


Malala Malala Malala ah
Spread your wings
Your born to fly
Women hold up half the sky 
Malala Malala Malala ah  
Shine your light
We are the sun
Reflect what's right on everyone


Fly, fly
Malala
Shine, shine
Malala

Fly, fly
Malala
Shine, shine
Malala
