Iran so far to escape the cold clutches of oppression
hoped and prayed my journey would end with this election
yearning for reform, tired of being content with the same
12 mile long human chain, is this symbol of unity the beginning of change?
the people spoke but the forces of tyranny spat in their face
the human chain remains strong, the bond will not break...
Iran so far to a place in my mind that only i could see
Iran so far but my country is not where i want it to be
the color of revolution is sad, the sight is so bleak
the sea of green contrasted by the pool of red on the streets
that was Neda's blood, she died on that very same spot
it depresses the senses to witness, but how can you not watch?...
Iran so far but where is this journey taking me?
amidst the ugliness of this brutality is an incredible show of bravery
the eyes of the world are watching, pan the camera to my face
i say the human chain remains strong, the bond will not break
make sure you tell our story, please do not sugar-coat our pain
do it for Neda Agha-Soltan, so her death won't be in vain...
