The Hidden Truth of Bhutan Lyrics

Bhutan the land of beauty but there's more than what you see

A cake that's so appealing but the truth ain't what it seems to be

Fronting like happiness they paint it so pristine

But underneath the surface lies a dark concealed machine

Wrath and sorrow that's the story they don't tell

Family separation living in a silent hell

No freedom to speak voices hushed in the breeze

Refugee issues people brought down to their knees

Bhutan's got a front looking happy and serene

But behind the scenes it's a whole different scene

Political prisoners life sentences in chains

Sisters brothers parents living lives in pain

Carbon neutral yeah they boast it with pride

But behind the curtain they got secrets to hide

Dozens locked up for just speaking their mind

In a country where freedom's something they can't find

Funerals without family loved ones kept apart

Tears fall in silence breaking many hearts

A beautiful illusion but the truth is real grim

Bhutan's got a story hidden deep within

Bhutan's got a front looking happy and serene

But behind the scenes it's a whole different scene

Political prisoners life sentences in chains

Sisters brothers parents living lives in pain

Listen to the voices that are buried in the night

The ones who stand in shadows ready for the fight

Change is coming can't keep it all suppressed

People rising up they won't be second best

Refugees in exile longing for their home

But in Bhutan they can't freely roam

A nation of smiles but behind every grin

There's a story of struggle that's where we begin

Let's shine a light on the darkness they conceal

Expose the hidden truths make the world feel

Bhutan's more than beauty it's time we all see

A nation crying out for true liberty

Bhutan's got a front looking happy and serene

But behind the scenes it's a whole different scene

Political prisoners life sentences in chains

Sisters brothers parent living lives in pain

So let's stand together let our voices unite

For the ones who can't speak let's bring them to the light

Bhutan deserves freedom let's break down the walls

For every soul in sorrow let's answer the call
