She says the truth is like the sun
Cuz once it shines it shines
And you can build yourself a roof
But it will find its way inside
And I think struggle is a river
That twists its way through time
And she's a drop of water
Playing her part in the tide
Cuz it's little drops of water falling one by one
That carve the canyon, and make the river run
She's got books beneath her Burqa
As she walks off to the side
Through a world of attempted assassinations
And she slips her way inside
The illegal school
Where teaches kids to read and write
And the dreams that are born here
Are the front lines of the fight
chorus
An idea is like a time-bomb
And spreading it's the fuse
But they know this all too well
So they try to keep her from the tools
These brave Afghan women are the force behind the dam
The little drops of water that will one day flood the land
When the tide rises up to join them
