They say oh poor girl you’re so beautiful you know
It’s a shame that you cover up your beauty so
She just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly
This beauty that I have is just a simple part of me
This body that I have no stranger has the right to see
These longs clothes the shawl I wear
Ensure my modesty
Faith is more essential fashion
Wouldn’t you agree
This hijab this mark of piety.
Is an act of faith a symbol
For all the world to see
A simple cloth to preserve her dignity
So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.
They tell her girl don’t you know this is the west and you are free
You don’t need to be oppressed ashamed of your femininity
She just shakes her head and she speaks so assuredly
See the billboards and the magazines
That line the checkout aisles
With their phony painted faces and their air brushed smile
With their sheer clothes and low cut gowns
They are really not for me
You call it freedom and I call it anarchy
And this hijab this mark of piety.
Is an act of faith a symbol
For all the world to see
A simple cloth to preserve her dignity
So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.
Lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity .
Lift the veil from your heart and seek the heart of purity.
