Freedom Flight

Mortal man, fragile minds
And I'm terrified all the damn time
And I'm tired of feelin' tired, wish I retired
But you'd be sad if I was gone at least
But I wish that you felt different
So many sleepless nights, I'm countin'
And I wish I wasn't such a coward
So bring me down, that’s what you do best
I'm sorry I'm so depressed
But you wanted that, didn't you?
But you wanted that, didn't you?

Leave my body in a field
Girl, I'll send you a postcard
At least you didn't have to see me cry
I hate this town 'cause it reminds me of me

Fragile man, broken hands
'Cause I've been typin' all the things that you did wrong
And I'm tired of overthinking
And I'm drowning in the consequences of talking to you
I'm sorry I'm not the one to carry this torch for you
To be the man you wanted me to be, I can't carry on like this

Leave my body in a field
Girl, I'll send you a postcard
At least you didn't have to see me cry
I hate this town 'cause it reminds me of me

Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we do something a little different. We're in Los Angeles, USA with Tom Francis who sings a cover of the song “Mona With the Children”,  originally by Doug Cameron.

The song is a protest song based on the true story of an Iranian Baha’i girl named Mona Mahmudnizhad, who, in 1983, at the age of 16, together with nine other Baha’i women, was sentenced to death and hanged in Shiraz, Iran, because she was a Baha’i. 

You can also watch the video of this song on Baha’i Blog’s YouTube channel here:

This song was filmed and recorded in Los Angeles, USA, August 2015.

Here are the lyrics to the song:

A 16 year old girl living in a land so cruel, she said this where I've got to be.
Taken in the night, her heart full of light, she said this where I've got to be.
How can I tell you, how could she be so young to know the truth in all her dreams.
She stands before them to hear them say, save your life and throw your faith away.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
All around the world we'll go dancing.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
Every precious moment you'll be dancing
Every precious moment we'll be free.
I can see her in my heart when the whole world is falling apart she said, this where I've got to be.
Captive in the light, a love that burns so bright, this where I've got to be.
When they asked her, what could she say, she said
You can't break my heart, you can't take my faith away
When they told her the price she'll have to pay
She said take my life, take it all the way, all the way.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
All around the world I see you dancing.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
Every precious moment you'll be dancing
Every precious moment you'll be free.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
All around the world our souls go dancing.
Mona With the Children you gave your life
All around the world we’ll go dancing
All around the world we’ll be free.
Mona With the Children send your love
All around the world souls are dancing.
Mona With the Children, send your love to me
All around the world I see you dancing, so pretty dancing.
Mona With the Children Mona send your love
All around the world we’ll go dancing.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
Every precious day, I’ll be dancing, I’ll be dancing.

"O Son of Dust! Blind thine eyes, that thou mayest behold My beauty; stop thine ears, that thou mayest hearken unto the sweet melody of My voice; empty thyself of all learning, that thou mayest partake of My knowledge; and sanctify thyself from riches, that thou mayest obtain a lasting share from the ocean of My eternal wealth. Blind thine eyes, that is, to all save My beauty; stop thine ears to all save My word; empty thyself of all learning save the knowledge of Me; that with a clear vision, a pure heart and an attentive ear thou mayest enter the court of My holiness."
