When paths meet (Live at the Holland Festival)
أناشيد الألبوم
DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘Veritas’ premiered at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam
as part of his concert series ‘When Paths Meet’.
From the minimal and ethereal sound of the intro,
it subtly transitions to a sense of awe at the astonishing majesty and multiplicity of creation.
The Persian-influenced musical phrasing of Sami Yusuf’s vocalisations
in the intro are inspired by the Daramad of Avaz-e dashti,
a subgroup of the Shur dastgah, a Persian modal system evocative of a meditative state.
Cappella Amsterdam sings quarter tones here and they do so brilliantly.
The flamenco and Andalusian sounds of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra interplay
with Western classical elements and the vibrant Arabic maqam Bayati.
When the mode shifts to the passionate yearning of maqam Nahawand,
its similarity to the Western classical minor scale brings an effortless resonance between the two.
The outro joins Bayati and a harmonic minor scale in a multi-faceted,
fiery expression of multiple, even contradictory states of being,
while the vocalists insist,
‘Veritas’, ‘Veritas’ – Truth, Truth – and cast our focus beneath the turbulent surface storms
to the calm depths below.

Veritas (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

DESCRIPTION:
Acclaimed British composer Sami Yusuf brings the immensely popular
Moroccan folk song ‘Fiyyashiyya’ to a European audience in his stunning
new arrangement performed live at the Holland Festival.
An achingly eloquent solo improvisation on the Chinese erhu
by the world-renowned master Guo Gan opens the piece,
which then moves into a joyful call and response between Sami Yusuf
and the vocalists of Cappella Amsterdam. As the rhythm builds,
the Arabic lyrics sung by the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra
are answered in English by Cappella Amsterdam.
This innovative rendition captures the exuberant essence of
the North African folk sound just as it clearly captured the hearts
of the audience who are heard clapping and singing along.
Written by the Moroccan poet
Sidi Othman ibn Yahya Cherki (known as “Sidi Bahloul Cherki”) in the 17th century

DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘The Fire Within’ evokes the flame of love
that burns in the hearts of seekers everywhere.

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,

About the Performance
Sami Yusuf’s instrumental composition ‘The Meeting’ is an intimate
and deeply personal work. Direct and non-linear, the melodies,
rhythms and vocalisations sustain and support
one another flawlessly as the music moves fluidly between the Western
aeolian mode and the Persian dastgah shur. Solos by Sami Yusuf on tar,
Guo Gan on erhu, and Asad Khan on sitar circle each other
to create an embracing ambience where each melodic line is a subtle gem,
strong and fragile in equal measure.

Lyrics:
It’s so hard to explain
What I’m feeling
But I guess it’s ok
Cause I’ll keep believing
There’s something deep inside
Something that’s calling
It’s calling you and I
It’s taking us up high
Healing, a simple act of kindness bring such meaning
A smile can change a life let’s start believing
And feeling, let’s start healing
Heal and you will be healed
Break every border
Give and you will receive
It’s nature’s order
There is a hidden force
Pulling us closer
It’s pulling you and I
It’s pulling us up high to…
Healing, a simple act of kindness brings such meaning
A smile can change a life lets start believing
And feeling, let’s start healing
Hearts in the hand of another heart and in God’s hand are all hearts
An eye takes care of another eye and from God’s eye nothing hides
Seek only to give and you’ll receive
So, heal and you will be healed

When paths meet (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

Composed and arranged by Sami Yusuf

Lyrics:
If I was given one more chance
To live my life again
There would be no more mistakes
And be the best of man
I will give on and lend a hand
Just one last try
And I’ll know it’s too late
To changed the lightness mind
‘Cause when your time has come now
And your life has reached the end
You’re wishing for another
You can’t go back my friend
In the end ..
So many regerts that a hand
Don’t have time to shared them all
And I run out the excuses
Now It’s time to take the fall
‘Cause when your time has come now
And your life has reached the end
And you’re begging for another
You can’t go back my friend
In the end ..
‘Cause I have no more time
On this surface swarm
And If I had time
I would change it on
I will change it on ..

Khorasan:
Khorasan is inspired by the stories ‘In Baghdad Dreaming of Cairo: In Cairo,
Dreaming of Baghdad’ by Rumi, and ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho. Sometimes
the treasures we are looking for have been with us all along, but it can take a long journey
to discover this. Khorasan is a historical region of Persia that provides
the destination of this spiritual journey, where we discover the answers
to the secrets of this world were inside us all along.

lyrics:
Khorasan
I have come
Here alone
In my dream
Earth and stone
Turned to gold
Was that you
Long ago
Khorasan?
Can you guide me to the treasures I have lost?
Can you show me every secret I forgot?
When I came you asked me where I had come from
You said my homeland was my kingdom all along
Khorasan
I must go
Send me home
Breathe in me
I have healed
I have grown
Give me peace
In my soul
Khorasan
Can you guide me to the treasures I have lost?
Can you show me every secret I forgot?
When I came you asked me where I had come from
You said my homeland was my kingdom and my secret all along
Khorasan,
Send me home
Khorasan.

“Rabbee Yebarik” Lyrics:
May this moment last forever
In your hearts, in your hearts
A day you’ll always remember
Every part, every part
This feeling of love
Just let it grow forever through your life
Bring beautiful years of joy
Between you til the end of time
Chorus:
Allah bless you with all His love
Send peace from up above
And may your frienship grow
Through the years
Together you will live
The good times and the tears
That’s just how beautiful your day is
We gift all our thanks to both
Our mum and dad, mum and dad
How you worked and sacrificed
The life you had, life you had
Forever we’ll never forget
You and everything you’ve done
No matter how hard we try
To thank you it won’t be enough
CHORUS
Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad
(May Allah send peace upon Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillah, Rasoolullah
(The best of Allah’s creation, the Messenger of Allah)
Rabbee yebarik, Rabbee, Rabbee yebarik likom (x2)
(May my Lord bless, my Lord, may my Lord bless you)

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?

Lyrics:
Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your smile
Which makes my soul want to fly
My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me
But I never realised it
And now it’s too late
Forgive me
Now I’m alone filled with so much shame
For all the years I caused you pain
If only I could sleep in your arms again
Mother I’m lost without you
You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who’s going to wipe my tears away
If only I knew what I know today
Mother I’m lost without you
Turkish:
Ben derdimi kime söyleyeyim
Sensiz ana
Senin kadrini hic bilemedim ben
Aziz ana
Resul buyurdu;
Cennet analarin ayaklari altinda
Senin hayalin aklimda,
ruhumda, ruyalarimda
Sen gittiginde canim gitti,
Ayrilik bir yaman dertti,
Dunya bana cefa etti,
Benim aziz anam
Aglarim ben bulut gibi,
Dilimdesin sarki gibi,
Gunahlarim derin derin
Hakkini helal et ana
To whom will I tell my sorrow
in your absence, mother?
I didn’t know your real value, my beloved mother
The Messenger (pbuh) said
“Paradise is under the mothers’ feet”
Your image is in my heart, my soul, and my dreams
When you left, my soul left
Our separation was painful
The world gave me pain
and sorrow my beloved mother
I cry like a cloud
You are like a song on my tongue
I’ve wronged you countless times
Forgive me mother

Lyrics:
I was a foolish little child
Crazy things I used to do
And all the pain I put you through
Mama now I’m here for you
For all the times I made you cry
The days I told you lies
Now it’s time for you to rise
For all the things you sacrificed
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you
Mum I’m all grown up now
It’s a brand new day
I’d like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum I’m all grown up now
And it’s not too late
I’d like to put a smile on your face every day
And now I finally understand
Your famous line
About the day I’d face in time
‘Cause now I’ve got a child of mine
And even though I was so bad
I’ve learned so much from you
Now I’m trying to do it too
Love my kid the way you do
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone

Oh, oh, number one for me
You know you are the number one for me
You know you are the number one for me
You know you are the number one for me
Oh, oh, number one for me
There’s no one in this world that can take your place
Oh, I’m sorry for ever taking you for granted, ooh
I will use every chance I get
To make you smile, whenever I’m around you
Now I will try to love you like you love me
Only God knows how much you mean to me
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone

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
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
We know you’re here with us
No more being prisoners in our homes
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
Towards a life of complete freedom
We can see our dream getting closer and closer, we’re almost there
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
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
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
…This is it and we’re not backing of
Oh God we know you hear our call
And we’re calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no

And now we’re here together
Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
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
…This is it and we’re not backing of
Oh God we know you hear our call
And we’re calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
We’re calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
We know you’re here with us

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
Chorus
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar…..

Ayın ışığı kıskanır seni
Sen ümmete anne oldun nebiye sevgili
Aişe, yoldaşın senin habibin Resulullah
Hidayetinle müjdeler seni
Kelamın nuru sardı kutlu ilmini
Senin gibi sadık bir kalbi görmedi dünya
Aişe, sen Aişe Ümmetin kalbindesin
Kelamın nuruna şehadet edenlerdensin
Kalbi pak olan, zikri hak olan
Resule sevgili sensin
İlmindedir senin kerametin
Mü’minlere lider oldu ferasetin
Aişe, rehberin senin habibin Resulallah
Güzel ahlak senin emanetin
Şehadetinin gölgesinde sen hidayeti
Buldun, her bir ayeti eyledin yoldaş
Aişe, sen Aişe Ümmetin kalbindesin
Kelamın nuruna şehadet edenlerdensin
Kalbi pak olan, zikri hak olan
Resule sevgili sensin

Lyrics:
They filled my path full of doubt
And wouldn’t hear me out
But still I chased my dreams
They told me to quit
But my heart could not resist
And from the darkness came a light
I will shine on tomorrow
Light the way for all to follow
From the darkness I will shine
Learning from the past I tried
To stare the world in the eyes
Find strength to pull me through
I saw through my tests and trials
A road that ran a thousand miles
At the end was only truth
I will shine on tomorrow
Light the way for all to follow
In the darkness I will shine
I will shine on forever
Take my chance now or never
In the darkness I will shine
I know I can if I believe
And I will choose my destiny
We’ll make the change we want to see
I know we can if we believe
And we will choose our destiny
I know I can if I believe

Lyrics :
I want it all
I want it now
Forget about the consequences
I know that it’s bad, it’s better to wait
But sometimes I can be selfish
And the only sound I hear is right now
And all my patience gets locked out
I know that it’s wrong
And I want to change
I need You here with me
Chorus:
Allah, Allah, Allah
Save me from myself
Allah, Allah, Allah
Lord I need Your help
Allah, Allah, Allah
Save me from myself
Allah, Allah, Allah
Big lights pull me in every time
And it’s so hard to break a pattern
But I see it clear, what’s deep inside
Is the only thing that really matters
So tell me how, how to turn it around
Before my senses hit the ground
‘Coz I know that’s it’s wrong
And I want to change
I need You here with me
CHORUS
Save me from myself
‘Coz I tripped and fell
And there is nothing, nothing
that I won’t do
Oh, save me from myself
‘Coz I need Your help
And now I’m running, running
Back to You

“Let It Go” Lyrics:-
Life can be so hard sometimes
Break you up inside
All you want to do is cry
Shut the door and hide
Don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start
Chorus:
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Giving up should never be
Something you decide to do
Wipe the tears from your cheek
God knows what you’re going through
So don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start, yeah
CHORUS
I know it’s hard but believe and keep trying
And it will be okay
‘Cause in your heart is the strength to survive it
You will be okay
And in no time like the sun you’ll be shining
Just let it go away
CHORUS
Let it go away, let it go
Oh, let it go

Prism:
The light of our sun contains all the colours of this world, and the Prism allows us
to separate this light in to its “secret layers”. Inspired by a phrase
from a Hadith Qudsi (Sacred scripture): “When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears,
his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he moves and his foot with which he walks”,
the Prism is a symbol of discovery, a way of seeing “with which he sees”.

Lyrics:
All of your waves
Have come from one
The seed has spread
The dawn of light
Has split from white
To blues and reds
Behind it all
There must be more
Seven colours of day
Show the light of your way
Have I found what is lying behind
The fire in your eyes?
Do you see what I see?
And from one breath
All sound was formed
Your words could sing
The prism shares
Your secret layers
Unraveling
Behind it all
There must be more
Seven colours of day
Show the light of your way
Have I found what is lying behind
The fire in your eyes?
Do you see what I see?
Every heart, Every hand, Every head
Rise up
Every thought, Every tear, Every smile
Rise up
Every fear, Every doubt, Every trouble
Rise up
Every hope, Every wish, Every prayer
Rise Up
Every faith, Every creed, Every colour
Rise Up
Every mind, Every soul, Everyone
(Rise Up)
Do you see what I see?

I know I’m waiting
Waiting for something
Something to happen to me
But this waiting comes with
Trials and challenges
Nothing in life is free
I wish that somehow
You’d tell me out aloud
That on that day I’ll be ok
But we’ll never know cause
That’s not the way it works
Help me find my way
My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong
Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I’ve lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong
I know I’m waiting
Yearning for something
Something known only to me
This waiting comes with
Trials and challenges
Life is one mystery
I wish that somehow
You’d tell me out aloud
That on that day you’ll forgive me
But we’ll never know cause
That’s not the way it works
I beg for your mercy
My Lord show me right from wrong

Lyrics:
I was so far from You
Yet to me You were always so close
I wandered lost in the dark
I closed my eyes
To all the signs You put in my way
I walked every day
Further and further away from You
Allah You brought me home
I thank You with every breath I take
Chorus:
Alhamdu Lillah, Alhamdu lillah
All praise is to Allah, All praise is to Allah
I never thought about
All the things You had given to me
I never thanked You once
I was too proud
To see the truth
And prostrate to You
Until I took the first step
And that’s when You opened the doors for me
And now, Allah, I realise what I was missing
By being far from You
Chorus
Allah I want to thank You
I want to thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
Indeed You gave me hope
Oh Allah I want to thank You
I want to thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
I want to thank You
For bringing me home

Now Allah, I realized what I was missing
By being far from you.
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.
Allah, I wanna thank You
I wanna thank you for all the things that you’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
Indeed you give me hope
O Allah, I wanna thank you
I wanna thank You for all the things that you’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
I wanna thank You for bringing me home
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.
I was so far from you
Yet to me you were always so close
I wandered lost in the dark
I closed my eyes toward the signs
You put in my way
I walked everyday
Further and further away from you
O Allah, you brought me home
I thank You with every breath I take.
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.
I never thought about
All the things you have given to me
I never thanked you once
I was too proud to see the truth
And prostrate to you
Until I took the first step
And that’s when you opened the doors for me
Now Allah, I realized what I was missing
By being far from you.
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.
Allah, I wanna thank You
I wanna thank you for all the things that you’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
Indeed you give me hope
O Allah, I wanna thank you
I wanna thank You for all the things that you’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
I wanna thank You for bringing me home
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.

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
(CHORUS)
ALLAHUMA SALLI ‘ALA SAYIDEENA MUSTAFA
‘ALAA HABEEBIKA NABIEEKA MUSTAFA
DIKAU HADIR KALA KU SEDIH SENDIRIAN DAN HILANG
DIKAU HADIR KALA AKU MENDAMBAKAN PETUNJUK JALAN
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
(CHORUS)
ALLAHUMA SALLI ‘ALA SAYIDEENA MUSTAFA
‘ALAA HABEEBIKA NABIEEKA MUSTAFA
SHOWED RIGHT FROM WRONG
TAUGHT ME TO BE STRONG
NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER
YA RASUL ALLAH
TELAH KAU DATANG
TERANGLAH ALAM
DAKU PERLUKAN MU
YA RASULULLAH
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

Lyrics:
I know your troubled story
A tale that’s full of sadness and woe
But I believe you’ll smile again
You see I know the pain you’re feeling
‘Cause I was there just like you before
And I know where it’s leading
Chorus:
Hold on ..
There’s nothing standing in your way you can
Be strong ..
So show the world what you can do and just
Walk on ..
Don’t ever doubt the inner voice in you
Life’s long ..
They’ll live to see what you’ve become
You feel like you’re the outcast
Sometimes it’s better to be alone
Than to be with the bad crowd
Preserve your mind and feed it
Nourish what it is you have inside
Use it in the right way
Chorus
Nothing standing in your way
Show the world what you can do
Don’t doubt the voice that’s in you
They’ll live to see what you’ve become

“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
