Unbroken Will of Raif

[Verse 1]
Jeddah nights grow deep and cold
Typed in secrets meant for the bold
Flickering screens hold a forbidden fire
One man’s soul above the wire
Raif Badawi sought the sun
The lonely work is never done

[Chorus]
Raif Badawi
Raif Badawi
Righteousness is found in speech
Open forums within our reach
Raif Badawi
Raif Badawi
Unbroken will
Unbroken still

[Verse 2]
Ten years behind the heavy gates
Cruel lashes from the hands of states
Digital stars carry every line
Far beyond the border line
Raif Badawi stays the same
They could not bury his name

[Bridge]
To write what is true
To push the pen through
He stood for the many
He spoke for the any
Dialogue on faith
A voice they cannot erase

[Chorus]
Raif Badawi
Raif Badawi
Righteousness is found in speech
Open forums within our reach
Raif Badawi
Raif Badawi
Unbroken will
Unbroken still
