   I held my head in my hands and I trembled
   the cries from the crowd
   and the girl in the camera
   I said in a prayer, a kind of surrender
   I wished her peace, wondered what she rendered

   Neda, you made a place for the innocents
   a prayer for the dissidents
   afraid I gave up
   I never thought the world could be so small

   And the loss of your innocence, wasn't enough I guess,
   The cost of what your holding in, wasn't everything
   All the leaders say "They'll forget some day"
   But what you'd live to see, will take their breath away

   these rackets(?) smolder
   these lines and these embers
   the cries in the nights, to say they remember
   the face of a girl, who faithful and tender
   wanted only peace and not to surrender

   Neda, your mother can cry for your memory
   and mourn for the tragedy,
   they tore your grave up
   I never thought the world could be so small

   And the loss of your innocence, wasn't enough I guess,
   The cost of what your holding in, wasn't everything
   All the leaders say "They'll forget some day"
   But what you'd live to see, will take their breath away

   and the flowers on your grave
   and the flowers on your grave
   and the flowers on your grave
   and the flowers on your grave
   and the flowers on your grave
   and the flowers on your grave
   and the flowers on your grave
   and the flowers on your grave

   and the worlds ending today
   they'll take all your things away(?)
   and the things you gave away
   were another kind that day
   and the flowers on your grave
   and the flowers on your grave

   and the loss of your innocence, wasn't enough I guess
   the cost of what you're holding in, wasn't everything
   but all the people say 'we won't forget the day
   and what you lived to see, it takes our breath away'

   Neda, you gave a place for the innocents
   a prayer for the dissidents
   We nearly gave up
   I never thought the world could be so small.

   I don't this is correct, though... help?

   I think you have a pretty great start on this lyrics. I think that the 1st line of the 4th paragraph should read "these ragged smoldering lines". And in the third to last paragraph I'm having a lot of trouble figuring what the lyrics are but I don't hear "and the worlds ending today" I kind of thought it was "and the worst something to say" but I'm not sure that makes sense. Then in the line after that I think it might say "that it could have never been that way" I'm not sure about that but I'm pretty sure I heard "that way" at the end of the line. I hope this helps! and if other people could help with this too that would be great because I'd really love to get these lyrics right!

   The fifth paragraph, where it says your mother can cry for your memory… I think it actually says "Your mother can't cry for your memory or mourn for the tragedy." Because they were actually forbidden to mourn for Neda.

   Neda, you made a place for the innocents, a prayer for the dissidents. Afraid I gave up; I never thought the world could be so small.

   And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess. The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything. All the leaders say, “they’ll forget someday,” but what you’d live to see would take their breath away.

   Here's what I hear. It's very similar to yours, but with a few differences:

   I held my head in my hands and I trembled
   The cries from the crowd
   And the girl in the camera
   I said in a prayer, a kind of surrender
   I wished her peace, wondered what she rendered

   Neda, you made a place for the innocents
   A prayer for the dissidents
   Afraid I gave up
   I never thought the world could be so small

   And the loss of your innocence, wasn't enough I guess,
   The cause of what your holding in, wasn't everything
   All the leaders say "They'll forget some day"
   But what you've lived to see, will take their breath away

   These ragged smoldering lines and these embers
   The cries in the nights, to say they remember
   The face of a girl, who faithful and tender
   Wanted only peace and not to surrender

   Neda, your mother can't cry for your memory
   Or mourn for the tragedy
   They tore your grave up
   I never thought the world could be so small

   And the loss of your innocence, wasn't enough I guess,
   The cause of what your holding in, wasn't everything
   All the leaders say "They'll forget some day"
   But what you'd live to see, will take their breath away

   And the flowers on the grave [x8]

   And the world's standing to say
   ?????
   And the things you gave away
   And your mother cried that day
   And the flowers on the grave
   And the flowers on the grave

   And the loss of your innocence, wasn't enough I guess
   The cause of what you're holding in, wasn't everything
   But all the people say "We won't forget the day
   And what you've lived to see, it takes our breath away"

   Neda, you gave a place for the innocents
   A prayer for the dissidents
   We nearly gave up
   I never thought the world could be so small.
