letra de the veil - dawud wharnsby ali

Loading...

they say, o, poor girl, you’re so beautiful you know
it’s a shame that you cover up your beauty so
she just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly

this beauty that i have is just one simple part of me
this body that i have, no stranger has the right to see
these long clothes, this shawl i wear, ensure my modesty
faith is more essential than fashion, wouldn’t you agree?

this hijab, this mark of piety
is an act of faith, a symbol for all the world to see
a simple cloth to preserve her dignity
so lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity

they tell her, girl, don’t you know this is the west and you are free?
you don’t need to be oppressed, ashamed of your femininity
she just shakes her head and she speaks so assuredly

see the bill-boards and the magazines that line the check-out isles
with their phony painted faces and their air-brushed smiles?
well their sheer clothes and low cut gowns they are really not for me
you call it freedom, i call it anarchy

and this hijab, this mark of piety
is an act of faith, a symbol, for all the world to see
a simple cloth to preserve her dignity
so lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity

so lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity
lift the veil from your heart and seek the heart of purity
