Blues for Malala

She might be young but she is brave - Just turned 15
While evil men keep on fighting - The years keep on passing by
She stood up for justice - but the Devil was waiting outside
Girls that might think for themself - get shot in their head by Taliban

Ref:
Will there be a future
Will there be hope
Who will give her an answer
What will I tell my kids?

Women shouldn`t have knowledge - women should only give birth
They should respect their master - says the evil Taliban
She shall never learn to read - and never understand
That millions of girls are supressed- If she ask they will attack

Ref:
Will there there be a future
Will there be hope
She might be the answer
So I can tell my kids --
Her face is the face of hope
She is a harbour of knowledge
You should remember her name -
Malala Yousafzai!

The world so bloody and cruel- We know more than ever
And so here we are powerless- While children get slaughtered and die
Peoplpe killing their future - The innocent pays the prize
Sure is manly and courageous to slaughter the one you should feed

Ref:
But there is an answer
And there is still hope
I will remember her story
And bring it on to my kids
She gave hope a new meaning
She is the harbour of knowledge
You must remember her name:
Malala Yousafzai!
