[Verse]

Teenage girl from Pakistan

Shot down by the Talliban

For breaking their Sharia rules

Trying just to go to school

A bold child with raven hair

Asked that children everywhere

Be allowed to grow up free

And be what they want to be

Malala

Yousafzai

[Chorus]

Those thug cowards could not kill

the light that’s in her eyes

Though her broken body bled,

Em D

Malala could not die

With her shining courage, she

Fights for women’s dignity

Human spirit ain’t no myth

Someone we must stand up with

Malala

Yousafzai
