Sarah Hegazy

Feeling free for a second

For the first time in her country

She broke the cage of silence

That was strangling her innocence

Raising the flag in public

Feeling like winning a war

A war against the society

That was closing on her every door

Screaming for those who can't

Supporting herself and her community

Singing lyrics against oppression

Couldn't ever feel happier

Came back home the same night

Everything arranged in her mind

Dreaming about a better future

Knowing that she did a step further

Woke up in a nightmare

Torture was her only breakfast

Electricity falling on her like water

And time wasn't going fast

They sent her back to prison

But this time with her body

In a cell where not even light can enter

Pain was her only surrender

Her body survived the fight

But her mind couldn't take it

The sky is better than the earth

She needed the sky not the earth
