1971
The year of liberation
For the people of Bangladesh
The birth of a nation
At Least in modern eye
Liberation is finding yourself
Freedom to believe in one’s self
To grow into a person
To go in tune with your true nature
Liberation is breaking from what they think
Breaking out from the prisons of your mind
To not let yourself sink and be kind
Liberation is the chance to learn
Receive an education
Something that so many people wish they had
Something that others disregard
That’s sad
The students were killed
They’re dying now
Their safety doesn’t matter
Their safety and the value of youth
All in the hands of the Mad Hatter
Liberation is also some people can ask for
Their homes occupied
Like the land of Palestine
They only want to live
That is what they fight for
Liberation
My people have been freed
Free my people
It’s all we can ask for.
