[00:36.00]I'm a spark, dear, I have become a ghazal
[00:40.84]my soul welcomes in what it finds beautiful
[00:45.84]to the poured lead, and the evil eye it repels
[00:50.72]woe be to a system like this
[01:15.64]it feels like there is a festival in my head
[01:17.88]a number plate secured, a jug in my hand
[01:20.36]my nose says west but my heart is for the east
[01:22.64]yet the dark invasion in the east wears a cowboy hat
[01:25.44]for how many generations have we failed the same class, unaware
[01:27.80]our maths variable yet geography our fate
[01:30.40]we dance, we sing folk songs to find our essence
[01:32.60]yet the assembly call grabs us by the neck
[01:36.04]well done to you
[01:39.60]you've ruined me
[01:41.96]and my youth has faded away
[01:45.40]I've set my heart on this path
[01:49.80]so is my freedom
[01:52.12]not worthy of any mention here?
[01:55.12]I'm a spark, dear, I am now scattered like broken leaves
[02:00.08]my soul welcomes in what it finds beautiful
[02:04.96]to the poured lead, and the evil eye it repels
[02:09.84]woe be to a system like this
[02:24.92]my soul's eye never stoops to the ill-gotten
[02:27.28]it walks the long path by foot
[02:29.84]and there are many who damn
[02:32.24]this mad instrument which speaks the truth
[02:34.48]I neither curried favour nor did I feel regret
[02:37.28]I was outcast I dressed myself in love
[02:39.76]yet none hate the loudmouth
[02:42.00]who always gets the greasy bit
[03:04.52]justice has become a weapon in man's hand
[03:06.80]we neither have a tale to tell, nor a room to tell it in
[03:09.32]I hope god sends us some salvation with gratitude
[03:11.60]my homeland! I hope you see the light of day! I really have had enough!
[03:14.32]condemned to eat mere onions in my bread
[03:16.76]what we need is peace and on a universal scale for that
[03:19.13]you know how Rûmi said ‘come whatever you are'
[03:21.25]the rest would be a lie, so humanity, re...........
