AWAKEN
By
Maher Zain
***************
We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought
We couldn’t stop buying
We gave charity to the poor cuz
We couldn’t stand their crying
We thought we paid our dues
But in fact to ourselves we’re just lying
Ooh I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
We were told what to buy and we bought
We went to London, Paris and Costa Del Sol
We made sure we were seen in the most exclusive shops
Yes we felt so very satisfied!
We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honor
We didn’t have any time to lose
When we were (were)
So busy feeling so satisfied
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
We became the visuals without a soul
Despite the heat
Our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness
We bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars
And bling will make us feel satisfied
My dear brother and sister
It’s time to change inside
Open your eyes
Don’t throw away what’s right aside
Before the day comes
When there’s nowhere to run and hide
Now ask yourself cuz Allah’s watching you
Is He satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied? [x3]
Ooh I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves (ourselves)
OPEN YOUR EYES
***************
Look around yourselves
CanA¢a?¬a?¢t you see this wonder
Spreaded infront of you
The clouds floating by
The skies are clear and blue
Planets in the orbits
The moon and the sun
Such perfect harmony
LetA¢a?¬a?¢s start question in ourselves
IsnA¢a?¬a?¢t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind
To push it all aside..
No..
We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look bright to see the signs
We canA¢a?¬a?¢t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..
Look inside yourselves
Such a perfect order
Hiding in yourselves
Running in your veins
What about anger love and pain
And all the things youA¢a?¬a?¢re feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?
Lets start question in ourselves
IsnA¢a?¬a?¢t this proof enough for us?
Or are we so blind
To push it all aside..?
No..
We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look bright to see the signs
We canA¢a?¬a?¢t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..
When a babyA¢a?¬a?¢s born
So helpless and weak
And youA¢a?¬a?¢re watching him growing..
So why deny
Whats in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life..
We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look quiet weA¢a?¬a?¢ll see the signs
We canA¢a?¬a?¢t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..
Open your eyes and hearts and minds
If you just look bright to see the signs
We canA¢a?¬a?¢t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..
Allah..
You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Robb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You..
Alhamdulillah..
YA NABI SALAM ALAYKA

TUNTUNKU KEPADAMU
***************
Kusadari, engkau sanggup
Mengambil kembali karunia-Mu
Dan kucoba, selalu mengingat
Takkan sia-siakan segalanya
Karena, suatu hari
Semua akan tiada lagi
Dan di akhir hayat kumohon
Kau ridho padaku
Chorus:
Allah, Ya Allah
Tuntunku ‘tuk tiba di Jannah-Mu
Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Jangan jauh dariku kudamba cahaya-Mu
Bersamamu kuingin dekat
Dekat dengan-Mu sepanjang usia
Ya Allah, Oh Allah!
Dampingi langkahku
Kusadari, kadang kulupa
Mungkin ini nafasku yang terakhir
Ampuni kurangnya syukurku
Maafkan kuragu kasih-Mu
Nanti, suatu hari
Saat duniaku usai berakhir
Di akhir hayat kumohon
Kau ridho padaku
CHORUS
Hari berganti
Kuyakin waktuku kian singkat
Tuhanku, biarku genggam dunia ini
Tanpa mencintainya
Karena ku kan segera pergi
Karena ku kan segera pergi
CHORUS (x3)
Tuntunlah aku
Setiap langkahku
ALWAYS BE THERE

Allahu Akbar [x8]
If you ask me about love
And what i know about it
My answer would be
ItA¢a?¬a?¢s everything about Allah
The pure love, to our souls
The creator of you and me
The heavens and the whole universe
The one that made us whole and free
The guardian of His true believers
So when the time gets hard
ThereA¢a?¬a?¢s no way to turn
As He promised He will always be there
To bless us with His love and His mercy
Cuz as He promised He will always be there
HeA¢a?¬a?¢s always watching us, guiding us
And He knows what’s in our little hearts
So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
Cuz as He promised He will always be there
He brings us out from the darkness into the light
Subhanallah capable of everything
ShouldnA¢a?¬a?¢t never feel afraid of anything
As long as we follow His guidance all the way
Through our short time we have in this life
Soon it will all be over
And weA¢a?¬a?¢ll be in His heaven and weA¢a?¬a?¢ll all be fine
So when the time gets hard
ThereA¢a?¬a?¢s no way to turn
As He promised He will always be there
To bless us with His love and His mercy
Cuz as He promised He will always be there
HeA¢a?¬a?¢s always watching us, guiding us
And He knows what’s in our little hearts
So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
Cuz As He promised He will always be there
Allahu Akbar [x16]
