I wonder how many of us would be willing to die at the hands of our own gov't to CHANGE our way of life for the better. <br /> <br />from the author's (http://www.youtube.com/Johnny909) notes: <br />If John Kennedy was alive today he would say, "I am an Iranian!" A woman called Neda died on the streets of Tehran this weekend. This is the real cost of freedom. This is not something many of us understand, I don't think. I have not felt this moved in my memory. Long live Neda! <br /> <br />NEDA (You Will Not Defeat The People!) <br /> <br />Neda was a young girl <br />She would not wear the hijab <br />She walked out on the streets of Tehran <br />To join the madding crowd <br /> <br />She felt a burning fire in her chest <br />And her blood began to flow <br />You will not defeat the people <br />When their lust for freedom grows <br /> <br />Down down go the concrete statues <br />Watch the faceless soldiers run <br />You will not defeat the people <br />With the bullets from your guns <br /> <br />Neda was a young girl <br />Her eyes were black as coal <br />She walked out on to the streets of Tehran <br />To take back some control <br /> <br />Watch her father with her face in his hands <br />Scream her name out to the sky <br />You will not defeat the people <br />When they learn that they can fly <br /> <br />(First verse again...) <br /> <br />You will not defeat the people <br />When it's freedom that they know <br />You will not defeat the people <br />Crying Neda in the streets <br />You will not defeat the people <br />Crying Neda in their sleep.
