“More Than Me And You” Lyrics:
I’m scared to death but I’m happy
I don’t know what to do
You came to me and said,
“Babe, guess what?! I think our dream’s finally coming true!”
A tiny gift from heaven
I can’t believe it’s real
A test for us to relish
this new love that we feel
Chorus:
And now our hearts are sealed together
And now our lives will change forever
I thank God for that tiny beating heart,
A love so true
I guess it’s gonna be more than me and you
I’ll take good care of your taste buds
And learn to count in weeks
While you keep you her warm from this worldly storm,
I’ll sing you both to a cozy sleep
A soul we’ll share between us
with His guidance from up above
There’s an angel growing,
And it’s got you glowing,
With noor from all His love
CHORUS
I’m counting my blessings from the moment that I met you
And patiently waiting for our dream to come true
It’s already written, so I prayed for you and me
And whatever happens : It’s Allah’s mercy
CHORUS x 2

lyrics:
I thought of this before over a million times
Who would’ve ever thought that it would be our time?
I just know it, ’cause you’re the one
It ain’t a selfish love, when I’m with you
You remind me of Allah, and so I know it’s true
I’ll just say it: you are the one
Chorus:
Won’t you be my BFF (best friend forever) and ever?
Won’t you be my partner after this world?
We’ll see it, when we believe it together
Dreams are meant to be, ’cause you’re the one for me
I never thought that I would ever feel this way
I ask Allah to bless you every single day
I’ll just say it, ’cause you’re the one
And when times are tough, and we’ve got the world to see
Standing right beside you is where I want to be
I just know it: you are the one
CHORUS
I prayed about this just over a million times
Who would ever thought that I could call you mine?
I just know it, ’cause you’re the one
And when there’s gray in our hair and we’ve not much to do
I want to spend the rest of my days with you…
Oh don’t you know it?
You are the one, you are the one
Oh won’t you be the one?

“Mercy” Lyrics:-
I’ve got that feeling in my gut
Because Lord I know that I messed up
And no one, yes no one would hear my call
These last few years a living hell
I feel so lost though I can’t tell
If no one, yes no one would feel my fall
And so my only hope is:
Chorus
Mercy ya Rahman
Mercy ya Raheem
Rabbee have mercy on me!
Tired of this never ending fight
Can’t seem to do anything right
And I wonder how much my heart can bend
Dark thoughts are sinking in my head
I’m wide awake but I feel dead
And I wonder, yes I wonder when will it’ll end
And so my only hope is:
Mercy ya Rahman
Mercy ya Raheem
Rabbee have mercy on me!
I’m feeling nothing left to give this world, so cold and hardened
Lord, I know you’re closer than the my veins and with the broken hearted
Mercy ya Rahman
Mercy ya Raheem
Rabbee have mercy on me!
Yeah!
Mercy ya Rahman!
Mercy ya Raheem!
Rabbee have mercy on me!

Everyday is a lesson
And everything you do
Defines yourself
Now I know we all have good intentions
Different ways we have to cope with stress
But for me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
But for me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
Now I know you are kind of scared now
I can see it all in your face
For every trial and tribulation
There will be a save and grace
Allah will never burden
With more than you can bare
How can you reach the heavens
Without going through the test
For me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
For me its easy
Cause I know he sees me

As we sail, across the sea of life
So much pain, warring divides
It’s a shame; we don’t see how it can be
CHORUS
Oh we need to smile at each other
Reach for your brother
Help one another, all/what we need is love
Oh we need to honour our mothers
Shelter our sisters
Alter existence, God’s help will come from up above
But, First we need the love
All the games people playing now
Fuel the flames, hatred devours
Lets spark a change, that’s within all of us
CHORUS (x2)
RAP
i am in the birds
i am in the trees
from the brown branches
to the the green leaves
im colorful
spectrum infinite
i touch all
indiscriminate
breed compassion and sentiment
limitless in my power to heal
the hearts of men
but they are so forgetful
that’s why i remind on an instrumental
this life is a trial
can never the let the test effect your smile
reach for your brother go the extra mile
kiss for ya mother hug your sister let your wife know that you miss her
know that you can never give up
when you fall to the floor im the reason you must get up
love
im a blessing from God
So why you dont use me more is so odd
you need love!
we need love!
As we sail, across the sea of life

You’re the most beautiful one that’s ever lived
Asalaato Wasalaamu Alayka Ya Rasulullah
Asalaato Wasalaamu Alayka Ya HabeebAllah
Just a glimpse of you once and that’s all it takes
For my hardships my worries to melt away
Asalaato Wasalaamu Alayka Ya Rasulullah
Asalaato Wasalaamu Alayka Ya HabeebAllah
As I read how the companions honoured you
Little do I feel I have to offer you.
Asalaato Wasalaamu Alayka Ya Rasulullah
Asalaato Wasalaamu Alayka Ya HabeebAllah
If I were to sit tonight and send you peace
While they sleep would your attention fall on me.

Lyrics:
We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oases
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought and couldn’t stop buying
We gave charity to the poor coz we couldn’t stand their crying
We thought we’d paid our dues
But in fact to ourselves we were just lying
Chorus:
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame for my place
I’m walking with my head lowered for 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 cafes and shops
Yes, we felt so very satisfied
We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honour
We didn’t have any time to lose
When we were so busy feeling so satisfied
Chorus
We became individuals 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 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 no where to run or hide
Now ask yourself ’cause Allah is watching you: Is He satisfied?
Is Allah is satisfied?

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.

Rahmānur Rahim – Nazeel Azami
The opening sounds of this dramatic new composition by Sami Yusuf carry
the eternal message of wind and stones, with anchoring vocalization by Emin Mammadov.
Shur mugham elements are then introduced through the astonishing voice of Kanan Bayramli.
The sweeping melody conveys the majesty of place and the weight of time.
Rising above the Caspian Sea, Gobustan’s boulders contain six thousand ancient stone carvings,
messages left by our human ancestors over twenty thousand years ago.
They speak to us not just of another time, but of another way of being.
One remarkable feature of Gobustan are its stone drums, an ancient means of communicating
across distance (like a Stone Age text message).

The opening sounds of this dramatic new composition by Sami Yusuf carry
the eternal message of wind and stones, with anchoring vocalization by Emin Mammadov.
Shur mugham elements are then introduced through the astonishing voice of Kanan Bayramli.
The sweeping melody conveys the majesty of place and the weight of time.
Rising above the Caspian Sea, Gobustan’s boulders contain six thousand ancient stone carvings,
messages left by our human ancestors over twenty thousand years ago.
They speak to us not just of another time, but of another way of being.
One remarkable feature of Gobustan are its stone drums, an ancient means of communicating
across distance (like a Stone Age text message).
The sound of these stone drums are incorporated into this extraordinary piece.

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)

Lyrics:
Impatient and longing to meet my beloved
My steps quicken my heartbeat racing
I long to touch each inch as I pass
Hoping to absorb his light into my heart
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
I’m standing humbly at your green dome
I’m full of sins I’m full of shame
I feel adorned by your beauty
Giving my tears in plea forgive me
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
My head prostrates onto the ground
All is calm now I feel at peace
No sound amongst these millions
Only I can hear my heartbeat
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
A place here in Jannah grant me
My bags are packed yet I can’t leave
I yearn the streets of my Rasool
He is my love please let me be

Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence is a breathtaking musical odyssey through a rich
artistic and cultural heritage. The music was composed, arranged, and directed by Sami Yusuf
for the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee
in Baku on June 30, 2019. The performance was directed by the renowned creative director Andrei Boltenko.
This newly created cultural treasure comprises nine themes; each theme
expresses an aspect of the ethos of Azerbaijan from the land’s earliest
inhabitants some twenty thousand years ago to its contemporary realities and aspirations.
With fifty-seven highly skilled musicians under his direction,
Sami Yusuf displays his mastery of a complex musical language while
staying true to the traditional sounds of the region. The instruments
used (except the piano) are traditional instruments from the region including the tar,
an instrument so significant that it is said to have taken a role in shaping
the cultural identity of Azerbaijanis; the kamancha, the stringed instrument related to the Byzantine
lyra and European violin family; and the balaban, a double-reed ancient wind instrument with a plaintive, solemn sound.
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence mesmerises with its dazzling musical range
from the subtle to the powerful and from the evocative to the majestic.
It is the soundscape of a region that displays an underlying universality.
These inspired compositions by this renowned musician evoke powerful emotional responses in listeners
no matter their cultural origin.

Lyrics:
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.
Chorus:
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!
Do not involve the innocent
Do not involve them that’s not the way
Lost in your own ignorance, believing you will save the day
Chorus
It is not enough to say
That you’re fighting for a good cause,
When you take their lives away,
Ask the ones that suffered their loss
Chorus
Use your mind, use your mind
It was given for you to use
Use your mind, use your mind, not for you to abuse

My father said to me
Saw you walking by

Don’t despair, don’t despair

If my wounds will heal
You’re right, I’m wrong, always the same
No one, really, knows of my pain

How much you’d grown
To make mistakes
I’m also prone

Freedom ( Forgive Me Album ) – Maher Zain
‘Shirvanshah’s Palace’, a new instrumental work from Sami Yusuf, features a 57-member
orchestra and dazzling solos on oud, kamanche, tar and balaban.
The musical narrative is majestic, powerful and intensely beautiful.
This piece is performed in Shur mugham [Əbu Əta], evoking an ecstatic mood that
echoes the Sufi ceremony of remembrance.
Although the sub-mode Əbu Əta (Or Abū ’Atā) is seldom used in recent decades,
it has been part of the Azerbaijani mugham system for centuries. The composer has chosen
to honor this particular traditional expression here, and in doing so seeks
to contribute to the revival of this complex musical language.
Shirvanshah’s Palace is a 15th century complex in Baku where the revered philosopher and sage,
Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, taught and prayed and where his tomb is located.
Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd World Heritage Committee held in Baku,
Azerbaijan on 30th June, 2019.

A child was born
Change your life forever
The sky lit up with beautiful weather

He grew up fast walking with olders
And when he spoke the people would gather
He had respect from everyone
The most trustworthy was

To think about life and make his mind a bit clearer

He was asked to read but he couldn’t do so
When he tried he spoke words so beautiful
When he was told he was the chosen one

“One Day” Lyrics:
Lying here wide awake on my own now
Silence is the loudest cry
I’m safe but I’ve lost everything I’ve known
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where I’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh
Chorus:
One day I can reach that rainbow
Watch the sweet reflection
Shining off my first home
I’d give anything to see my family again
And say how much I love them
That’s all I imagine
One day
I wish I could go back tomorrow
If it’s only for just one second
Put warmth back into a town that’s frozen
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where i’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again
CHORUS
I have cried so many times
And all those tears have washed my eyes
Now I see clearly into the light
‘Cause I believe
I know one day I’ll be home again
To start a new life, with peace everywhere
Right from the start until the end
I believe that one day
I can reach that rainbow
One day, one day
I believe that one day
One day
CHORUS
One day, one day
One day, one day

But cry because it’s where I’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh
Chorus:
One day I can reach that rainbow
Watch the sweet reflection
Shining off my first home
I’d give anything to see my family again
And say how much I love them
That’s all I imagine
One day
I wish I could go back tomorrow
If it’s only for just one second
Put warmth back into a town that’s frozen
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where i’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again
CHORUS
I have cried so many times
And all those tears have washed my eyes
Now I see clearly into the light
‘Cause I believe
I know one day I’ll be home again
To start a new life, with peace everywhere
Right from the start until the end
I believe that one day
I can reach that rainbow
One day, one day
I believe that one day
One day
CHORUS
One day, one day
One day, one day

Well I know it’s more than love now
Cause you mean everything
Hear you talking when you’re sleeping reality
Know you’re goin through hardship
And I know that you’re scared
But you don’t need to worry
Cause Allah is there
Oh I will never let you go
You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make
We gotta make our own
Gotta stand on our feet
As we take this direction
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost
And you wanna give up
After every hardship comes ease
Hardship comes ease
May Allah bless our way
And our intention
Stay pure every day
Be a better person
Open the gates to heaven
Guide us the way
Guide us the way
Day by day we’re getting old
And the stories that we’re told
As a kid I was listening listening
Always I’m listening listening
Somewhere a father of a child
With all the loving I provide
Children sleeping through the night the mother singing a lullaby
Oh I will never let you go
You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make
We gotta make our own
Gotta stand on our feet
As we take this direction
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost
And you wanna give up
After every hardship comes ease
Hardship comes ease
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost
And you wanna give up
After every hardship comes ease
Hardship comes ease
Hardship comes ease
Well I know it’s more than love now
Cause you mean everything
Hear you talking when you’re sleeping reality
Know you’re goin through hardship
And I know that you’re scared
But you don’t need to worry
Cause Allah is there

You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make

I know you’ve walked in my shoes
And get just what I’m feeling
I know you’ve brought me up
To always do the right thing
You don’t need to solve all of my problems
I can try
Let me feel naïve, let me feel alive
I just need a little more space
To live my life
And make my own decisions
Looking through my eyes, oh
I’m not trying to break your trust
It’s all I need
But I’m growing up now, so let me breathe
I can make the right choices
‘Cause of all you taught me
And you know that I’m always going to call
If I say I will
You don’t need to stay up and worry
I’ll be alright
Let me feel naïve, let me paint the sky
I just need a little more space
To live my life
And make my own decisions
Looking through my eyes, oh
I’m not trying breaking your trust
It’s all I need
But I’m growing up now, so let me breathe
You have been my safety
My protector from the start ‘n
There’s no way, no one
Could try replacing you in my heart
