kids

true love will find you in the end
or at least the end will find you
and you might fall in love with that
fine-tuned images of youth
will follow you to hell and back
fueled by good intention

I hear you weeping in your bed
pipe down, we could all use the rest
tomorrow is ruthless

 and who’s fault is that?
Who let the wind steal their whisper?
who’s fault is that?
When the time, I wonder who faltered

magnanimous
has never described me less
I know that it isn’t healthy to hold on
bad analysis 
you can’t be serious
how am I supposed to work with kids’ gloves on
these hairy palms

I see the hatred in your eyes
keep them closed lest they keep me up at night
tomorrow is a fight

 and who’s fault is that?
Who wrote the wrong directions on the map?
who’s fault is that?
Who forgot which way the river’s running?

sometimes
revenge is just a lie, “just lead a decent life”
but I don’t the advisers taking their advice
try harder
clench your fist and turn your hips
you’ll land a decent punch
in time to leave your mark

"""true love"""

Lyrics:

Bajo el cielo que amanece,
gira el viento del creador,
soy semilla en la promesa,
soy latido del maíz y del sol.
En la sangre llevo el canto,
en la voz, la memoria antigua,
no olvido el fuego ni el llanto,
ni el camino que nos guía.

Somos hijos de la tierra,
somos lluvia en su dolor,
en la espiga, en la raíz,
somos grito, somos flor.
Nuestra sangre es la palabra,
que germina sin temor,
hijos del maíz sagrado,
corazón del creador.

Bajo el trueno que no calla,
nace el tiempo de volver,
en la savia de la ceiba,
llevo historias por nacer.
No somos viento perdido,
no somos sombra sin voz,
somos eco renacido,
en el maíz y en el sol.

Somos hijos de la tierra,
somos lluvia en su dolor,
en la espiga, en la raíz,
somos grito, somos flor.
Nuestra sangre es la palabra,
que germina sin temor,
hijos del maíz sagrado,
corazón del creador.

En cada grano dormido,
hay un sueño que brotará,
y en cada paso perdido,
la vida renacerá.

Somos hijos de la tierra,
somos lluvia en su dolor,
en la espiga, en la raíz,
somos grito, somos flor.
Nuestra sangre es la palabra,
que germina sin temor,
hijos del maíz sagrado,
corazón del creador.

Somos hijos…
del maíz…
del sol.

Hijos del maíz sagrado

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.

You can also check out Baha'i Blog's interview with Tom Francis here:

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.
