lyrics

Where's My Name
(music: Melanie Mau, Martin Schnella | lyrics: Melanie Mau)

A little girl born in the Middle East
With a beautiful name
But no one will hear her name agian
All her life she will be called a mother, daughter or the wife of the man
As if she didn't have a personality
Personality of her own

Male honour forces women
Not only to keep their bodies hidden
But also to hide their names
So nobody knows who they are
And which price they have to pay
Only because they're born an Afghan

Now the time has come
To seal their fate
Without compromises
It is time for a change

It's a shame they reclaim their identities
'Cause they've been never called by name
It is time for a change
Where's my name
So much pain
They swallow their pride
Many women died without a name on their graves
#wheresmyname

So a woman's life is ruled by men
She is his possession
But he can't take her pride
He has to recognize
A woman will give her own life
To be independent

Now the time has come
To seal their fate
Without compromises
It is time for a change

It's a shame they reclaim their identities
'Cause they've been never called by name
It is time for a change
Where's my name
So much pain
They swallow their pride
Many women died without a name on their graves
#wheresmyname

Every day people die without a name on their graves
