For a future that is bright
For a time when the sun shines equally on everyone
For freedom of speech
When one can speak about what’s in one’s heart
For a time when a dual life ends
When one can behave the same way inside and outside one’s house
For the dawn of the equality of women and men
For the fruition of a cause long fought for
For the feeling of the wind in one’s hair
For biking and swimming in freedom
For a time when ethnicity matters not
For a time when freedom of religion exists
For a time when people stop leaving their homeland
Because they cannot see their future in Iran
For a time when love and harmony reigns
When hatred is gone
For the time of coming together of a nation
To demand their freedom of thought
For unity
For solidarity
For compassion for one’s fellow man
For decency
Transparency
And leaders one can count on
For Mahsa
For Nika
And so many more who sacrificed their lives
For the dawn of a new day in Iran
