| What goes through your mind? | |
| As you sit there looking at me | |
| Well I can tell from your looks | |
| That you think | |
| I’m so oppressed | |
| But I don’t need for you to liberate me | |
| My head is not bare | |
| And you can’t see my covered hair | |
| So you sit there and you stare | |
| And you judge me with your glare | |
| You’re sure | |
| I’m in despair | |
| But are you not aware | |
| Under this scarf that | |
| I wear I have feelings, and | |
| I do care | |
| So don’t you see? | |
| That I’m truly free | |
| This piece of scarf on me | |
| I wear so proudly | |
| To preserve my dignity… | |
| My modesty | |
| My integrity | |
| So don’t judge me | |
| Open your eyes and see… “ | |
| Why can’t you just accept me?” she says “ | |
| Why can’t | |
| I just be me?” she says | |
| Time and time again | |
| You speak of democracy | |
| Yet you rob me of my liberty | |
| All I want is equality | |
| Why can’t you just let me be free? | |
| For you I sing this song | |
| My sister, may you always be strong | |
| From you I’ve learnt so much | |
| How you suffer so much | |
| Yet you forgive those who laugh at you | |
| You walk with no fear | |
| Through the insults you hear | |
| Your wish so sincere | |
| That they’d understand you | |
| But before you walk away | |
| This time you turn and say: | |
| But don’t you see? | |
| That I’m truly free | |
| This piece of scarf on me | |
| I wear so proudly | |
| To preserve my dignity | |
| My modesty | |
| My integrity | |
| So let me be | |
| She says with a smile | |
| I’m the one who’s free |
| What goes through your mind? | |
| As you sit there looking at me | |
| Well I can tell from your looks | |
| That you think | |
| I' m so oppressed | |
| But I don' t need for you to liberate me | |
