LYRICS:
Let us not forget
Let us not forget
who we are, whence we came, where we shall go
Let us not forget
We have now fallen and forgotten who we are
Wandering on earth with no compass in hand
But we can remember
We can remember
Let us not forget that although cast in this lowly world
Let us not forget
Although blinded by veils of neglect and heedlessness
We are placed here on earth to remember
To remember
Who we really are as we make this journey of earthly life

Lyrics:
O People!
In a hut made of tin and clay
A small boy dreams away
Of clean water and a meal a day
And not to fear mines as he plays each day
O People!
Somewhere dark and out of the way
AIDS has found yet another prey
To save his life he just couldn’t pay
Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Durban,
For our sisters in Darfur,
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there,
Nice and cowzy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer (2x)?
You might ask yourself:
“Why should I help these people?”
They’ll tell you why:
“We’re not so different from you.
We have dreams just like you,
But they were buried with the
Bodies of our loved ones.”
O People!
Are we dead, dumb, and blind?
What is going through our minds?
Don’t we care for the rest of mankind?
O People!
We claim to love peace and justice
Why do we preach but we don’t practice?
Let’s help them out of this darkness
Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Ethiopia,
For our sisters in Rwanda,
Show me what we’re going to do,
Are we just going to sit there
Nice and cozy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer (4x)?

Lyrics:
You came to me
In that hour of need
When I was so lost
So lonely
You came to me
Took my breath away
Showed me the right way
The way to lead
You filled my heart with love
Showed me the light above
Now all I want
Is to be with you
You are my one true love
Taught me to never judge
Now all I want
Is to be with you
Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyinda Mustafa, ‘ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa
You came to me
In a time of despair
I called on you
You were there
Without you
What would my life mean?
To not know the unseen
The worlds between
For you I’d sacrifice
For you I’d give my life
Anything…
Just to be with you
I feel so lost at times
By all the hurt and lies
Now all I want
Is to be with you
Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyinda Mustafa, ‘ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa
Showed right from wrong
Taught me to be strong
Need you more than ever
Ya Rasul Allah
You came to me
In that hour of need
Need you more than ever

Showed me the light above

How beautiful, is this worldly life
But not a soul shall remain
We all come into this world
Only to leave it one day
I can see that everything around me
Rises then fades away
Life is just a passing moment
Nothing is meant to stay, oh
[Chorus:]
This worldly life has an end
And it’s then real life begins
A world where we will live forever
This beautiful worldly life has an end
It’s a just bridge that must be crossed
To a life that will go on forever
So many years, quickly slipping by
Like the Sleepers of the Cave
Wake up and make a choice
Before we end up in our graves
O God! You didn’t put me here in vain
I know I’ll be held accountable for what I do
This life is just a journey
And it’s taking me back to You
[Chorus:]
This worldly life has an end
And it’s then real life begins
A world where we will live forever
This beautiful worldly life has an end
It’s a just bridge that must be crossed
To a life that will go on forever
So many get caught in this beautiful web
Its gardens become an infatuation
But surely they’ll understand at the final stop
That its gardens are meant for cultivation, oh
[Chorus:]
This worldly life has an end
And it’s then real life begins
A world where we will live forever
This beautiful worldly life has an end
It’s a just bridge that must be crossed
To a life that will go on forever
How beautiful, is this worldly life
But not a soul shall remain

Lyrics:
Look around your self
Can’t you see this wonder
Spread in front of you
The clouds floating by
The sky so clear and blue
Planets in their orbits
The moon and the sun
Such perfect harmony
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus:
Open our eyes, our hearts and minds
If we just look right, we’ll see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
And let it take us by surprise
Allah protect us in the best way
Allah guide us every single day
Allah keep us close to You
Until the end of time
Look inside your self
Such perfect order
Hiding in your cells
Running in your veins
What about anger, love, and pain?
And all the things you’re feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus
When a baby is born
So helpless and weak
And you’re watching it growing
Why deny what’s in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life
We just have to
Chorus
Allah You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Rabb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You…
Allhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)

This is not the way it is
This is not the way it should be
You’re destroying everything, everything that’s dear to me
I can never be like you; you are the wicked of this world
You are the reason why we feel fear in our daily lives
And faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference
Don’t involve the innocent, don’t involve them that’s not the way
Lost in your own ignorance, believing you will save the day
And Faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference
It is not enough to say that you’re fighting for a good cause
When you take their lives away, ask the one’s that suffered their loss
And Faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference
Use your mind, use your mind, it was given for you to use
Use your mind, use your mind, not for you to abuse

Lyrics:
Allahu Akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar…
Allahu Akbaru Allahu Akbaru Allah…
If you ask me about love and what I know about it
My answer will be
It’s everything about Allah, the pure love to our souls
He’s 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
Chorus:
So when the time gets hard
And there’s no way to turn
As He promised
He will always be there
To bless us with His love
And His mercy ’cause
As He promised
He will always be there
He’s always watching us, guiding us
And He knows what’s deep in our hearts
So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
‘Cause as He promised
He will always be there
He brings us out from the darkness into the light, Subhanallah
Capable of everything
We should 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’ll all be over and well be
In His heaven and we’ll all be fine

As He promised
He will always be there
He’s always watching us, guiding us
And He knows what’s deep in our hearts
So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
‘Cause as He promised
He will always be there
He brings us out from the darkness into the light, Subhanallah
Capable of everything
We should 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’ll all be over and well be
In His heaven and we’ll all be fine
Chorus
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar…..

Lyrics:
TO SEE YOU SMILE
GIVE IT ALL AWAY
SIGHT OF YOUR SMILE
SO PURE AND WIDE
JUST LIKE THE MOON IN THE SKY
SHINING SO BRIGHT
YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH
YOU GIVE ME LIFE
GIVE EVERYTHING DO ANYTHING
WHATEVER IT’LL TAKE, TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
AND MY LIFE HAS MEANING ‘CAUSE OF YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
EVERY SONG I SING HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY, TO SEE YOUR SMILE
SIGHT OF YOUR SMILE
SO PURE AND WIDE
AS YOU WELCOME ME BACK INTO YOUR ARMS
TELL ME I’VE WRONGED BUT IT’S ALRIGHT, IT’S ALRIGHT
THE ONLY THING I NEED IN LIFE IS YOU
SO LOST AND FRUSTRATED FAR FROM YOU
YOUR LOVE IS WHAT MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE
GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY, ANYTHING FOR YOUR SMILE
WHEN I’M AWAY
FAR FROM YOUR SIDE
I WATCH THE CLOUDS
COME AND GO IN THE COLD NIGHT SKY
THEY START TO PLAY
THEY COME TO LIFE
AND FROM THE DARK THE MOON APPEARS
JUST LIKE YOUR SMILE SHE SHINES HER LIGHT
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
AND MY LIFE HAS MEANING ‘CAUSE OF YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
EVERY SONG I SING HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY, TO SEE YOUR SMILE

Mamma – Lyrics:
Every time I think of you
You always make me smile
Whenever I feel down
You know how to cheer me up
And every time I feel confused
And I don’t know which way to choose
One thing’s for sure
I can always count on you
When I am near or when I’m far
Or when I’m completely lost
In my heart I have no fear
‘Cause you’re my guiding star, oh
Chorus:
Mamma you know that I love you
No matter what I say or do
I can never thank you, oh
Mamma you know that I love you
You are the proof of what love can do
Truly you are God’s miracle, oh
You’re my shelter from the rain
You’re the shoulder I cry on
And whenever I feel pain
One touch from you and the pain is gone
And all I’ve ever dreamed to be
Is to make you proud of me
‘Cause never once
Did you turn your back on me
Your healing words, your tender touch
The warmth of your embrace
The beauty of your soul
Shine through your loving face, oh
CHORUS
Your name was the first word I’ve ever spoken
You held my hand through the first steps I’ve taken, oh
When I wasn’t well you watched me through the night
That is why Paradise is under your feet, oh
CHORUS

This powerful new composition begins with the haunting and resonant vocalizations of Sami Yusuf,
then adds instrumental, rhythmic, and vocal layers to create an epic unison section
that evokes the many-faceted aspects of the arc of Azerbaijan’s history. This piece features
stunning vocal solos by Sevda Alekperzadeh, Tayyar Bayramov, Samira Aliyeva, and a beautiful tar solo
by Sahib Pashazade that leads into the majestic outro.
Written in Bayāt-e Shīrāz mugham, its sweeping melody is inspired by the story of this region
from its earliest times to its hopes for the future.

Lyrics :
A humble slave I am of an almighty Lord
No work is too hard for that One who’s adored
But though I’m a beggar who cannot afford
To claim any strength, sure and strong is my Lord
He says, where He wills, when He wishes a thing,
just “Be”, and it is, by the might of a King
The ruler whose edicts and wise rulings bring
All blessings and grace by the might of a King
I haven’t got the force,
No strength between my sides
Why feel such remorse
when the Maker provides?
[Arabic:]
I’m but a humble slave, what should I worry about?
All affairs are ordained, of this there is no doubt
My Lord sees everything, while my sight leaves much out
In the womb, He formed me from a drop
O Allah, send your blessings on The Chosen One
Our beloved Muhammad, Peace be upon him
[English:]
I’m safe in the shade of his all-knowing height
And no strength have I — His all power and might.
So glory to God, his bounty shining bright,
All gratitude and praise are His due and His right.

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

One big family – Lyrics:
I wonder why you and me fight each other
Don’t you see the similarities between us?
Take a minute and see yourself in the mirror
You look like me: those eyes, lips – you can’t deny
Have you thought about
Why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
Just one big family
It doesn’t matter if you live far away from me
You feel I feel, you bleed I bleed, you cry and I cry
We sleep and dream
Sometimes we’re sad, sometimes we’re happy
You breathe I breathe
We love, walk, talk and we smile
Have you thought about
Why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
Just one big family
I care about you
And I wish you could realize
There’s no difference between us two
We’re part of one family
No matter how far you are
And even if we don’t know each other
Oh, you and me, me and you, we are one
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister

DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘The Fire Within’ evokes the flame of love
that burns in the hearts of seekers everywhere.
This rich musical tapestry weaves together mystical strands of music and poetry
as it moves seamlessly from the aeolian sound of European choral music
to Andalusian modes to Middle Eastern scales.
Here we hear the voice of each tradition clearly articulated
as in an intricate conversation with one another.
Layer upon layer of melodies and rhythms serve to clarify the composer’s vision
and to lead the listener inward to a place of knowing beyond words.
Lyrics are drawn from mystical poets: Kaygusuz Abdal (Turkish lyrics),
Hildegard von Bingen (Latin lyrics),
Mansur ibn al-Hallaj and Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (Arabic lyrics).
Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra,
and Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.

Gathered here with my family
…My neighbours and my friends
Standing firm together against oppression holding hands
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Or if you’re young, old, women or man
We’re here for the same reason; we want to take back our land
Oh God thank you..
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we’re here together
Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh

No more being afraid to talk
Our dream is just to be free, just to be free
Now when we’ve taking our first step

We can see our dream getting closer and closer, we’re almost there
Oh God thank you..

And now we’re here together

We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
I can feel the pride in the air
And it makes me strong to see everyone
Standing together holding hands in unity
Shouting out loud demanding their right for freedom
