I am a mother and a daughter, a lover and a friend 
The world that I once knew is gone, impossible to comprehend 
Once I had a gentle man and he loved me to the moon 
They call me by another name but still, my name is June. 

Now I keep my head down, I don't look them in the eye 
Every dress I own is red and the driver is a spy 
Once I had a mother, a fighter through and through 
They call me by another name, but the name she gave to me is June.
It's June. And all I have left is my name. 

How can you do this? How can you let this be? 
How can you do this? You're a woman just like me. 
My name is June. And all I have left is my name. 

You asked me if I'm happy. I told you what they made me say. 
The truth is: Death is preferable to what I'm living through today 
Once I had a little girl that I carried in my womb 
They call me by another name, but now you know my name is June.
It's June. And all I have left is my name. 

How can you do this? How can you let this be? 
I'm a woman, I am human, I'm not a commodity. 
How can you do this? How can you let this be? 
How can you do this? You're a woman just like me... 

...a mother and a daughter, a lover and a friend 
The world I knew is upside down, impossible to comprehend 
My daughter is out there somewhere and I pray to see her soon 
She's the only reason I stay alive. 

How can you do this? How can you let this be? 
I am a woman I am not a commodity 
How can you do this? How can you let this be? 
How can you do this? You're a woman just like me 

My name is June. And all I have left is my name.
