Smile
Smile
And the world shall laugh at your face
Cry
And the world shall laugh at your face
Run
And the world might still be laughing at your face
How synthetic this emotions seem
When a girl cries or smiles
Or runs with joy or fear
Here and There
And everywhere
When Death is so near
Let alone this world feel ashamed
Of her chastity might proclaim
And if she is not to be true
Honor killing will do
To save our names and bonds
And the status we built upon
The walls so high
To not let her fly
And chain her down
With red bangles
Fly my friend
And let the world know
You are free
Free to be
