Sharper Than Any Knife
Imagine if they took your loved one away
If she was the mother to your child, what could you say
Imagine the pain and suffering of not knowing when you would kiss and hold your loved one again
Imagine if your country didn’t care
If it’s a question of money that she’s still there
Imagine your daughter growing out of your sight
Tell me that doesn’t cut sharper that any knife
Imagine what life would be like for you
When they cast these lies, when they act so cruel
To keep a mother apart from her girl
To keep a wife apart from the man who loves her so
I am ashamed that she’s not home
I am ashamed of what we’ve become
Imagine Christmas when she’s not there
Imagine the pain, the bleak despair.
Nazanin deserves her country’s love
She deserves her daughters love
She deserves her husbands love
She deserves all our love.
