Lyrics:

Can we not see how the planets look like diamonds in the sky?
And everything on earth was created for you and I
And can we not see that man is merely waiting
For the final day to arrive, to arrive

Do we feel a deeper meaning to it all?
And in our creation there are no flaws
And we’re trying to control something we can’t explain
Or we wander around blindly in the dark without an aim
Do we think it’s all a game?

La Ilaha Illa Allah
Muhammadun Rasool Allah
There’s no God but Allah
And Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

And do we think the truth is no longer clear to see?
And the simple things are left behind
Like smiling at your fellow man
Or looking up at the velvet sky
And sometimes it makes me wonder why we’re all still here

LYRICS:

The high heavens exalt Your Name,
from which all names take their grace.
Timeless glories mark out Your reign,
from Your lofty dwelling place.

Understanding, bounteous One,
eternal gift of plenty;
omniscient, just and divine,
our Judge in all Your glory.

سبحت باسمك المجيد السماء
وتسامت باسمك الأسماء

يا عظيماً يا حليماً وفرداً
من عطاياك دامت الآلاء

You give breeze to the wheeling birds
Sustained high up in the sky,
as You nurture us here on earth.
In Your warmth we glorify.

You sent messengers to us, Lord,
Revealing Your word and light.
You taught the scale above the sword,
Your justice is all men’s right.

عندها نرتجي من الله عفواً
حين يأتي محمد واللواء
فاجعل المصطفى شفيعاً وكن لي
غافراً ذاك مطلبي والرجاء

We seek the mercy of God.
I beg, Prophet, speak for me!
Led by Mohammed’s great banner,
Your forgiveness is my plea.

Lyrics:

Swing across the seven skies
They say a pure heart never lies
The words you learned were never heard
It’s time to think and wonder why

The stars above will always be
A shining guide for us to see
And when I doubt, I’ll have no doubt
But still I wonder why

Digging through our pages past
Wondering how the truth will last
God’s in control is what I found
I think I’ll try this time around!

And no one really feels the path I seek, and
No one’s going to care as much as me, and
No one seems to know our history, and
Stories are told for the world to see!

CHORUS

And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!

The heroes of our past unfold
Their glory is unique we’re told
Their stories mark a precious past
But do we question why?

A quest for truth can never be
A light I’ve faked inside of me
I’ll walk in shoes I’ve never felt
Only then I’ll sure know why!

They tell me “Just make up your mind!”
The path I seek just needs a sign
The end is where I want to be
Which way I go is up to me!

And no one really feels the path I seek, and
No one’s going to care as much as me, and
No one seems to know our history, and
Stories are told for the world to see!

CHORUS

And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!

And I know that it hurts
When we stop and wonder: “Why?”
Yes I know that it hurts
Maybe time will heal the burns

And maybe you’ve felt the path I seek, and
I know you’ve cared as much as me
Our stories were shared for us to see, and
Perhaps it’s best to part and be!

CHORUS

And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!

Lyrics:
Ours the future hold close
For a time will come
Deep in your heart there’s a river that flows
All the way to Kingdom come
Through the sandstorms where the high wind blows
A desert rose does bloom
Please help me…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My people
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It’s written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don’t listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are the jewels

Deeds I’ve done what I’ve become
Treasures I will find
Nourishment I do receive
Can’t help but believe
The road is long I shall stay strong
Please hear my song
Help me…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My brothers
Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My sisters
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It’s written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don’t listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are the jewels

Take me to gardens where
Birds will sing lullabies
Find me in the shade of trees
Through gentle breeze
Sweet scents filled the air…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My people
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It’s written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don’t listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are the jewels
