about

Written by Richard Ursomarso. This song pays tribute to the freedom fighter, Malala Yousafzai

lyrics

Malala… Malala Yousafzai….
Malala Your name will never die
Malala Malala Yousafzai

What are the words we sing?
It is the name of a young girl
A hero for equal rights
With the courage of a lion
She grew up in Pakistan
Home of the Taliban

They destroyed the children’s school
Took away women’s right
But she would not stand down
She would not give up the fight
Better to live like a lion
Than a slave for a hundred years
(That’s what she said)

Malala

But there is a moment
When you have to choose
Whether to be silent
Or stand up for the truth
When every man was losing courage
A woman raised her voice

She said I have to speak
Sing dance and go to the market
A right to an education
And I will speak up about it
65 million women are standing with me


Well, The evil men warned her
Said she must be silent
They threatened to take her life
But she would never fear them
They shot Malala down
On her way to school

A grown man pulled the trigger
As they sat on the school bus
Trying to silence the voice
Of courage and resistance
Oh but the light of Jah prevailed
And she survived

Stand up for Freedom
Stand up for equal rights

Malala

We realized the importance of light
When we are faced with darkness
The power of our voice
When we are all are silenced
We believe in the strength and the power of our words

Today is the day for
Every boy and girl
Everyone who has stood up
Fought for equal rights
Strength courage and bravery
Is the meaning of her name

(Sing it with me)

Malala……

Stand up….

Malala
