Inspired by Malala Yousafzai's message of courage, education, and freedom.
Let it be love that sets our daughters free to fly.
Shot guns and holy water
Bless us now, protect our daughters
Not from the women they 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

Rooted in early childhood memories of singing “la-la's” with my dad, Doug Midgley — him on guitar, me finding my voice beside him.
