Because I rose from the night of capture,
Because I raised my head high to see dawn,
Because I awoke from the nightmare,
Because my pen became my sword,
To break through the vicious cage...
You answered my questions by spilling blood
-the price of your brutality, the cost of my
outcry for freedom
Because I fought for my right
Because I didn’t keep silent
Because I didn’t shut myself in your cage
Because I didn’t fear your continuous threat
You tried to cease my life and silence that voice
A spark once triggered spreads
And swallows like wild-fire
The spark will shine and glow
And will forever be enlightened
I will rise again
I will be the dawn
I will awake
