Above is a video designed to symbolically and musically depict the flurry of pain that is felt in the country of Afghanistan. (Can also be accessed via YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UyCCKuRufU) Team Odyssey wrote our own song (below) to express our feelings towards the global issue, and hopefully reach others in a sentimental way that produces change.
Unveiled
By Team Odyssey
Here is a story waiting to unfold
About the country that fell short from doing what they were told
Push turned into a shove, a new power rose above
With a sky full of vultures Where is the dove?
Where is the love? Where is the love?
As the power got higher than ever before
Man began to rule the land and power began to soar
Women stuck abused at home without a single cure
Never will they be silenced it’s time to hear their roar
Chorus:
The beautiful souls will never be tamed
We all feel the pain, where is the shame
It is time for this paradigm to change
The Beautiful soul will never be tamed
Tamed, time to take of the chains look inside to remember the better days, a better face
Not this objectified haze, identity maze
Have you ever had no choice but to ask why?
To get no response when you look into the sky?
Let the words lift the tears that you cry.
Underneath the veil we have failed to see what’s true
With faces revealed that are covered in black blue
Left with no opportunity for a job or to go to school
Oppressed by religious truth taught since they were a youth
One of oppression and repression now It’s time for a confession
Chorus:
The beautiful souls will never be tamed
We all feel the pain, where is the shame
It is time for this paradigm to change
The Beautiful soul will never be tamed
