Let Me Live
i want to fly high
i wish i could be a bird
but i cant do so
because god made me a girl
they say i cant smile
because i am not a boy
i want to ask them ..
why do they treat me like a toy
they say i am a burden
and i shouldn't have been born
someday i will prove them
that all they said was wrong
no, i am not a waste
so don't treat me like a flawed
i can be anything
i am the best creation of god
if you cant protect m so
then you don't have the right to exploit
because you will feel ashamed
when i will raise my voice
you think i am not brave
you think i can be hurled
but i am not afraid of any pain
if i can make a baby enter this world
so.. let me live
the way i deserve
because i am not a curse
i am a girl.. i am a pearl
