The Star of Jupiter Video (MV)

I was born in the valley of peace
In the bosom of paradise
Where the crown of the Hindu Kush
Reigns over fields of rice

My brothers and I knew joy
Playing cricket in the sun
But the clouds were gathering behind the hills
Called to the sound of the gun

In this freedom that I seek
I reach my hand up from the mountain peak
To try and touch the star of Jupiter

I float my prayer down the river
With a dandelion for a sail
That the sisters of my homeland
May show the faces behind the veil

And lift the burden of this shadow
Dispel the darkness of the curfew
So the tears of my people
May evaporate like morning dew

I long to be the most I can be
And like Alexander before me
Try to touch the star of Jupiter

In this freedom that we seek
We reach our hands up from the mountain peak
To try and touch the star of Jupiter
