Barricaded in a hotel room
Bed pushed against the door
Phone in her hand
A lifeline to the outside world
They took her passport
They want to force her back
To hell on earth
Abused by her mum and dad
She was running from evil
A brutal regime
Where freedom is a luxury
All she wants
Is to decide her own fate
Be who she wants to be
Be who she wants to be
Six nights in limbo
Waiting for her fate
News comes at last
They want to help her escape
Touchdown Toronto
Reborn into a new life
Never thought this day would come
Is this what freedom feels like?
She was running from evil
A brutal regime
Where freedom is a luxury
All she wants
Is to decide her own fate
Be who she wants to be
Be who she wants to be
Today, I can proudly say I make my own decisions
I'm one of the lucky ones
Any woman who thinks of escaping or escapes is at risk of persecution
Women are disappearing
Today, and for years to come
I will work in support of freedom for women around the world
She was running from evil
A brutal regime
Where freedom is a luxury
All she wants
Is to decide her own fate
Be who she wants to be
Be who she wants to be
Be who she wants to be
Be who she wants to be
