Where Is This Place?

Where is this place the world has forgotten
Where blood runs deep in the streets
Where every door is closed and shuttered
And in every heart there beats defeat

Where is this place the world has forgotten
My beloved homeland, place of my birth
Where the cries of children pierce the night
Dear brothers, what are their lives worth.

See the blood, smell the smoke
Revolution is in the air
Light a candle for the darkness
Help to guide our prayer

Where is this place the world has forgotten
Where freedom is just an empty word
Where silent voices must send the message
Of desperations still unheard

Where is this place the world has forgotten
Should we not be involved in all mens souls
Does anyone’s death not diminish me
Do you have to ask for whom the bell tolls

See the blood, smell the smoke
Revolution is in the air
Light a candle for the darkness
Help to guide our prayer

Where is this place the world has forgotten
My beloved homeland, place of my birth
Hear my weeping for her sorrows
And help her take her place on earth.

People of Iran, the world has not forgotten you. We hope to welcome you to the sweet arms of freedom soon.

My lyrics are such a little gift but may they give you some encouragement to know we are behind your struggle to be free.

Tell the girl on the rooftop of Iran she is not forgotten. The world is watching.
