    Story Behind the Song
    Riding the bus, soon after 9/11, I witnessed a man get harassed by another man, asking if he was from Pakistan. This song is about equality.

    Lyrics
    Verse:
    Arabian American- Be True
    Please dont cower when I look at you.
    Arabian American – Be Brave
    It so happens that we need a face to blame

    Verse:
    So lets all react now for show
    We can brave the wind and not let go
    The winds may be strong so hold on.
    Clasp your hands real tight and carry on.

    Chorus:
    And the faces are all the same.
    Its just a single teardrop in a passing rain.
    You can aim your gun at me.
    You can aim your gun at society.

    Verse:
    Arabian American- Be Strong
    We only start a war when all hope is gone.
    Maybe I could be louder- speak out
    Cant just sit here while we count the missiles out.

    (Chorus)
