Inspired by the protest song 'Baraye', the anthem of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in Iran
"for dancing in the street
for the fear of kissing
for your sister, my sister, and ours
for the changing of rotten minds and rotten powers
for all the shame of being poor
for all the yearning for something more
for all the kids searching for their dreams
for the lose-lose economy
for all the poisoned air that we have to breathe
for Valiasr Avenue's dying trees
for all the Pirouz that may go extinct
for all the dogs outlawed out in the streets
for all the tears we cry and the endless grief
for all the images that we can't unsee
for a smile, for a smiling face
for all the students, for a future that we can't replace
for all the forced ideas of paradise
for all the great ideas that will never rise
for all the children that won't be saved
for all the "for all the's" that won't be said
for all the endless empty promises
for all the falling of cheap houses
for the feeling of a peaceful life
for the Sun after a long dark night
for all the pills we take cause we just can't sleep
for man, country, rebuilding
for all the girls that wish they could be man
for Woman, Life, Freedom"
