Lyrics:
Things that I’ve said, no they don’t mean nothing at all
Time just flies by when I’m with the One I love
Even sunlight makes it through the dark, in a cold misty sky
And when I’m all alone tonight, You’ll be right here…by my side
Chorus :
No matter what what world brings
And even if the birds won’t sing
Better times are on their way
‘Cause I know You’re there
And even if the sun won’t smile,
I know it’s been a while
Since I’ve felt any light,
But I know You’re there
Good times, they never last, I wish they were around
Their time has past us now, still haven’t made a sound
Some folks are dying to live, and others live to die
And somehow when I think of You I smile deep inside!
Chorus
The grass was greener on the other side
The world turns gray now, are we out of time?
And when I lie alone and stare into the dark,
I’ll remember what You said as I watch the stars spark
I know it isn’t even time to talk…
But I know You’re right here by my side

But I know You’re right here by my side
Wash away that guilty frown
Falling rain, rising sun,
So many things to get done
I am done, it’s your turn
I’m getting old, no time to burn
Chorus:
And no one knows but me, the power that I see
And everybody thinks that I’ve gone crazy
And no one knows but me, just thinking of what could be
And everybody thinks they’re the one…but me
Rise up strong! What you’ll see
Oh, is this real or imaginary?
Shining bright, the night has come
The better life has not yet begun
Here we are, lessons learned
I am done, now it’s your turn!
CHORUS
People think that I’m alone, but I feel close to You
They don’t see that I can love, but I know You do
No one knows just how I feel, only You see through to my heart
CHORUS
Hands raised high, only You can see
For no one knows…but You and me
Wash away that guilty frown
Falling rain, rising sun,
So many things to get done
I am done, it’s your turn
I’m getting old, no time to burn
Chorus:
And no one knows but me, the power that I see
And everybody thinks that I’ve gone crazy
And no one knows but me, just thinking of what could be
And everybody thinks they’re the one…but me
Rise up strong! What you’ll see
Oh, is this real or imaginary?
Shining bright, the night has come
The better life has not yet begun
Here we are, lessons learned
I am done, now it’s your turn!
CHORUS
People think that I’m alone, but I feel close to You
They don’t see that I can love, but I know You do
No one knows just how I feel, only You see through to my heart
CHORUS
Hands raised high, only You can see
For no one knows…but You and me

lyrics:
All night I pray I might,
Wake up and feel the light
Before I know it, the Sun has arrived
It greets me with its cheerful eyes
I’m thankful for this beautiful day
It feels so good to be on my way
I see the world there’s nothing to hide,
And in His name everything’s alright!
Chorus:
Call on him, and call on him, and call on him and say
Call on him, and call on him, and call on him and say:
Allah! The One creator of the heavens and Earth
Allah! The One who gives you all more than your worth
Allah! Just call on Him and He will hear
He’s by your side, so have no fear
Allah! Who picks you back up when you’ve taken a fall?
Allah! Whose epic mercy will shine above all?
Allah! Just call on Him and He will hear
He’s on your side, so have no fear
All day, I’m paving my way
Because I know, I’m not here to stay
Straight ahead, there’s so much to see
And I’ll be making history
I’m grateful for whatever has passed
He only stays, and nothing will last
Just how it ends is unknown to me
but in His shade is where I’ll want to be
CHORUS
Just take a step and open your eyes
Put your trust in Him and it’ll be alright
Just right when you:

Ramadan Is Here
Written by Raef
Music Producer: Nick Baumhardt
….
With hope in our eyes, we search thru the skies
waiting for our old friend
With loved ones nearby and our spirits high
a blessed time we’ll spend
In both love and in fear to Allah we draw near
hands raised to the sky
O Allah, please forgive us
and guide us to Paradise
Ramadan is here!
Allah’s mercy is near!
Time to give, time to share, time to show we care
cause Ramadan is here!
All day and all night, noble words we’ll recite
Healing our hearts with Quran:
Revealed on the Night of Power
A guide for this world till the end
Like past nations have done, we’ll fast for the One
Creator, from Him shines all light
O Allah, please forgive us
and guide us to paradise
Ramadan is here!
Allah’s mercy is near!
Time to give, time to share, time to show we care
cause Ramadan is here!
With friends and family, we’ll break bread and be
thankful for all we have
Spending our nights in prayer
a chance for a brand new path
A month to let go of grudges we hold
Time to make it right
O Allah, please unite us
and guide us to paradise
O And guide us to paradise!
Ramadan is here!
Allah’s mercy is near!
Time to give, time to share, time to show we care
cause Ramadan is here!
Ramadan is here!
Allah’s mercy is near!
Time to give, time to share, time to show we care
cause Ramadan is here!
O Ramadan is here!

They say that love never lasts
That love never lives to see another day
But what I know deep down inside
It’s what I feel and it’s so real
I gave it up all for You
And there ain’t nothing that I won’t do
All I know deep down inside
It’s what I feel and it’s so real with You!
Chorus:
Allah, everyday I’ll try to be as true as I can to You
‘Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan
Yes everyday I’ll try to be as true as I can to You
‘Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan
They say: “You’re out of your mind”
“Don’t you know that love fades away?”
They say: “It only brings you pain!”
But what I feel is so real!
I gave it up and turned to You
‘Cause I know what your love can do
O Allah open up our hearts
And make us feel how it’s so real with You!
They say that love never lasts
That love never lives to see another day
But what I know deep down inside
It’s what I feel and it’s so real
I gave it up all for You
And there ain’t nothing that I won’t do
All I know deep down inside
It’s what I feel and it’s so real with You!
Chorus:
Allah, everyday I’ll try to be as true as I can to You
‘Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan
Yes everyday I’ll try to be as true as I can to You
‘Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan
They say: “You’re out of your mind”
“Don’t you know that love fades away?”
They say: “It only brings you pain!”
But what I feel is so real!
I gave it up and turned to You
‘Cause I know what your love can do
O Allah open up our hearts
And make us feel how it’s so real with You!
Lyrics:
All I own, my whole life
Is worth nothing if I’m not free
I will fight tyranny
I’ll break the shackles holding me
If we can reach the stars above, even though they seem so far
We’ll change the world, we’ll overcome, revolution starts with me
Pre-chorus:
In the face of evil, the way of danger, yeah
I will be strong
Yeah the storm clouds are coming, and no we ain’t running
Yeah, we’ll fight on!
And I will say
Chorus:
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Freedom ain’t free
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
I’ll fight for you and me
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
God made me free
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ain’t nobody gonna take that from me
If we stay silent
We’ll see injustice spreading wide
When freedom calls, I’ll be there
Stand by my side it’s our time to fly
I’ll stand my ground till my voice is found
It’s either death or liberty
O Lord above, give us strength
And grant us victory!
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
God made me free
So who’s gon’ stop me ?
I’d give my wealth, my life
‘Cause it’s my destiny
I was born a fighter
Come on let’s stand together
Make the world better
Pray for sunny weather
It’s time to let go
Of your inner ego
Stand by my side my brothers
Come on and let’s go
To a higher ground
Where peace and love is found
Storms are rolling, we’re coming
We ain’t gon’ back down!

“All About Me” Lyrics:
Have I lost my mind, wasting time
Begging for the whole world to subscribe
Did I lose control of my ego
You know a selfie’s never good the first hundred times!
‘Cause I’m living my life all through a screen
Filtered friends, yeah I’m loving the dream
No I don’t want to wake to a world that is so real
I’m feeding my Me, keep me in this twirl!
Looking for likes in a lonely world
Trying to numb my pain just to know that I can feel
‘Cause you know what they say:
Hey! We’ve got the answer!
It’s all about me, and for my pleasure!
And you know what they say:
Hey! It just feels better!
It’s all about me, and that’s what matters!
Oh, hey! It’s all about me!
Oh, hey! It’s all about me!
Is it worth a post, if I can’t boast
About the views and comments that fill my eyes
Stuck in our own bubble. And even if it goes viral
Why can’t we speak heart to heart with an open mind
Because I’m living my life all through a screen
Filtered friends, yeah I’m loving the dream
No I don’t want to wake to a world that is so real
I’m feeding my Me, keep me in this twirl!
Looking for likes in a lonely world
Trying to numb my pain just to know that I can feel
‘Cause you know what they say:
Hey! We’ve got the answer!
It’s all about me, and for my pleasure!
And you know what they say:
Hey! It just feels better!
It’s all about me, and that’s what matters!
Oh, Hey! It’s all about me!
Oh, Hey! It’s all about me!
OMG! What’s happening to me
FOMO has kept me ironically
From being all that I could ever really be!
Am I living asleep because I love my screen
Hashtag friends, am I losing a dream
Shake me, wake me up to a world that I can feel!
It’s a feeding frenzy and a dizzy twirl
Lonely for likes in a busy world
We feel so connected but our brokenness is all so real
‘Cause you know what I say:
Hey! Nothing lasts forever!
Is it all about me, and for my pleasure?
Can’t you hear what I say
Hey! Trying to find the answers!
Going to shut my screen and like what really matters!
‘Cause you know what I say:
Hey! Nothing lasts forever!
Is it all about me, and for my pleasure
Can’t you hear what I say
Hey! Trying to find the answers!
Gonna shut my screen and like what really matters!
Yeah, gonna shut my screen, and share what really matters
