lyrics

Before She Wakes (Pray)
(lyrics © Mojdeh)


Pray she, pray she wakes
Pray she, pray she wakes

Pray away the dark depression days
Pray she feels she has the feathered freedom
Pray she forgets distress

Though the Walmart lots will allow for rest
No ticket, no blue lights and keys tap-tap investigating
No promise of safety
Just that catching sleep won't find a prison cell
to replace your memories of home

Pray she, pray she wakes up
Pray she, pray she wakes up

If she dies before she wakes,
May she have a vision sitting beside Abdu'l-Bahá
Tongues' quiet prayer behind sugar crystals
clenched and melting
in the sweltering gulps of bergamot tea
I dream of ends of suffering and of passing boiled

If she dies before she wakes,
May she first dream of holding her sister's and mother’s hands
Left behind in another land before they both
became the color of new saffron stigma
Forty years and many seas,
a revolution made many martyrs
where the exiled and prisoners meet
(both surrender)

(No boils) Pray she
(No frost) Pray she wakes
(No forgotten) Pray she
(No hunger or hungry heart) Pray she wakes up
(My love) Pray she
(of life given to me) Pray she wakes
Pray she, pray she wakes up
Pray she, pray she wakes
Pray she
Pray she wakes up
Pray she wakes up
Pray she wakes
