Gucci, Versace, Brunos
Manolo Blahnik, Stuart – all these men
Louis Vutton, Burberry,
Prada, Tod’s, Chanel
Decisions, decisions – you now have them
Hey let’s not forget Ross and Macy’s
Not everyone can!
Long brown hair
Cut to be in style
Bleached to blend
Styled because you can
Auburn, Blonde, Highlights, Eggplant
And on and on
Manicures and Pedicures
Facials and Massages
Botox and Peels
Yep this is all for real
Those deep dark eyes
Some naturally blue, green, hazel and amber
They sparkle when you tear
You’re silent you remember fear
Hold on, we will get there
Contacts to change
Glasses to impress
To become something or Someone else
This makes you feel better?
Cut, Pluck, Tweeze, Wax, Laser,
Shave, Bleach, Nair
To mystify, To beautify
Red, Pink, Black, Green, Powder,
Blush, Gloss, Floss
To mystify, to beautify
To be raised with many siblings
To be lost in that crowd
To be alone in ones thinking
To be alone in the world
You’ve grown, now you’re here from Iran
Impeccable. Some are taught
Speak with integrity
Let words flow
Let them soothe
Be romantic
Porsche, Hyundai, Toyota, Hummer, Benz,
Jaquar, Maserati, Lamborghini and the one with the red button
To mystify, To beautify
You dance to the techno beat and to the Persian beat
You sway your hips and you talk with your hands
You flip your hair and you know how to charm
You know all too well
What it took to get here
So you cover your pain
The Gucci, The Prada, The Versace,
You cooked food you couldn’t eat
You served tea you couldn’t drink
You covered your body with a chador
And told not to think
You’re here now
You studied those books
Added English to your mother tongue
But don’t forget your mother tongue
You succeeded – bravo
You have degrees, you have accolades
Yes...your pain is felt, there are those who recognize
But Don’t get lost in the crowd
Stand strong, fight, love will unite all hearts
Stand strong, fight, love will unite all hearts
Remember your teachings, they exist here too
Too much religion you say
Too little I say
Pray to the East, Pray to the West, Teach, Study
Just make sure you’ve given it your best.
Remember we all rise to a higher cause
To hide, to survive, to pretend, to succeed, to never know
The feeling of love, truth, compassion, justice, honesty, respect
These Will mystify, These will beautify
