   People of Zawiya

   Though I never knew you
   I felt I could hear your screams
   I wish I could have helped you
   You just wanted to be free

   I was useless to you – just useless
   You fought so bravely…….
   But the world had already let you down
   A long time before

   Though in the end you had to submit
   You fought ugliness with beauty
   Because you were right
   And they were wrong

   And though they tried to cover your dead bodies with sand
   They can never wash the blood from their hands
   And they can never be beautiful like you
   Because you were fighting for the truth

   You were fighting to be free
   Fighting to speak your minds
   Fighting so bravely for this ‘til you died
   And I was just useless, I just cried

   But you will always be remembered as heroes
   And no matter what lies they tell
   They will always be remembered as liars, murderers and thugs
   And you will always be remembered as the true and good people of Zawiya
