lobna's song
lobna's song
In Taksim Square, on May 31st
I was sitting with everyone.
Then a gas smell. Things got mixed up.
Escapes… The aftermath is dark
I don't know if I'm actually good or bad
I do not know.
I'm happy that I'm alive
But I always… cry
Lobna, don't be afraid, generous to you
The life you believe in
Lobna, who did this to you
There can be no life
Lobna, with your mind, with your hope
You been there
Lobna, this
It can never be a crime
I turned 5 years old, became a little woman,
My goals, what I do is small
Is it the same woman that lives in me
Yes the same and different ...
My words are in my mind but they can't get out of my mouth,
I'm learning again
Everything has changed, I only have one thing that doesn't change
My life pleasure
Lobna, don't be afraid, generous to you
The life you believe in
Lobna, who did this to you
There can be no life
Lobna, with your mind, with your hope
You been there
Lobna, this
It can never be a crime
Good people…
It was May 31st, I was sitting with everyone
We were there at Taksim Square
Then a sudden smell of gas… and chaos all around
It was a stampede…. and settling darkness
I do not know, if I am okay or not at all
I really don't know
But I'm alive, and that's what I am glad for
Even though all the time, can't stop my crying
Lobna, hold on, the life you believed in
Is still on your side
Lobna what you've been through
Cannot ever be 'life', at all
Lobna you were out there
With reason and hope for all
Lobna the two being one can never be
A crime at all
I went back to being 5 ... A little woman
With baby goals and tiny tasks
The woman inside me, is she still the one?
Yes she is and not quite the same
The words are in my mind, but they simply can't
Just flow out, I'm learning how
Everything has changed, there's only one thing that has not
Which is my joy for life
Lobna, hold on, the life you believed in
Is still on your side
Lobna what you've been through
Cannot ever be 'life', at all
Lobna you were out there
With reason and hope for all
Lobna the two being one can never be
A crime at all
Good people…
