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.
