The Light (A Song for Iran)

I wrote this song last weekend while trying to digest all that was happening in Iran. The video contains some graphic images.

Thanks for listening...

UPDATED with lyrics:

Standing here with the light on
Not knowing if what I see is true
Still I know I must fight on
Every step I take is cause I'm moved

These halls are shaking
Its walls are breaking
Though they may try to crack my bones
This blood they spill is running home

Old man wake and see
It's your own face you destroy
We're born speechless but free
And now we've found our voice

We have lived under your heel
And so you mistake us for the dirt
But this chance you will not steal
Mixed inside my veins you'll find this earth

Your time is fleeting
Our hearts are beating
Though you may shoot, our stones are cast
And once you fall so does the past

Old man wake and see
It's your own face you destroy
We're born speechless but free
And now we've found our voice

We are not alone
This struggle knows no lines
We're fighting for our home
A fight as old as time
Old man wake and see
It's your own face you destroy
We're born speechless but free
And now we've found our voice

Standing here with the light on
Not knowing if what I see is true
Still I know I must fight on
Every step I take is cause I'm moved

These halls are shaking
Its walls are breaking
Though they may try to crack my bones
This blood they spill is running home

همه میمون ایرانی مرگ در اینجا مانند هامان اسرائیل وجود دارد زندگی می کند و مسیح می آید و خدا به شما کفار را شکست..  بشنو ای اسرائیل خداوند ما خدای یکتا آقا..

[jingle1bell]

Is Iran suffering from Stockholm Syndrome where the kidnapped Victims mistake Captors' feeding and sheltering them as act of Kindness. so that they don't escape or testify against their Perpetrators. 1400 years of captive is a long time. THERE IS A GENUINE REALITY, come out of the imposed fake and nightmare reality

[jayBredd]

Really, a beautiful song brother

[jayBredd]

Long live the people`s revolutions. United we can liberate the world

[CultureVision360]

You make a very powerful statement with your song. It's painful to see what you and your people see--it's the same for any people that want peace and to be free. Thank you for your contribution to help and to heal. You truly have a beautiful voice. God Bless you. CultureVision supports this video.
