►In 1983, ten brave Iranian women paid the ultimate price for their beliefs in unity, equality, and justice. Their story resonates today as countless women continue fighting for their rights in Iran.
A campaign titled #OurStoryIsOne has been created to share their story and amplify the voices of all those who are still fighting for equality.
This song, featuring global artists, is a tribute to honor these unsung heroes. We also invited people worldwide to participate in the video by sharing a photo with #OurStoryIsOne to show their support.

►Lyrics
Ten were the beacons of light on that night
ten radiant woman shining so bright
they carried a banner that not all could bear
to the highest summit and planted it there
Their lives stood for justice, their lives stood for peace,
every word that they uttered spread love and a kindness so deep
but on that night these lights
one by one were put out
The injustices echo through time
the blood and the tears, countless sacrifice
how long will it be till a new world's begun
how long till we see: our story is one
In the midst of the chaos of a turbulent sea
will we recognize the light that could set us free
when we're lost in the darkness and all hope seems to fade
these brave souls will come to our aid
The seeds have been planted by countless heroines
Who could see beyond the flaws of the age we're in
the winds of oppression only strengthen its roots
if they cover it with veils, if they tighten the noose
this tree cannot help but flourish no matter what they've done
but be assured, we will not forget you, our story is one.
