Zain Bhikha - Our World Lyrics
I hear the sorrow of the worldIt seems like everybody's lost andScared trying to make sense of it allAnd as I travel to and fro, so many faces pass me byI see lonely hearts living lonely lives just biding their timeAnd while we call ourselves civilized, many people living empty livesAs they drone their way through day and nightI pray for our world, I pray for every childI pray for our world to be filled with smilesLike the colours of a rainbow and not just black and whiteI pray for our world to be filled with lightI pray for all of us, to choose the path that's rightTo believe in Allah every day of our livesIn the evening on the TV news, I see images of war.I see brother killing brother with no consequence at all.And while those who claim to be leaders, sell us tales of deceit.But Allah alone know in their hearts what they reveal and conceal.And while we call ourselves civilized,We go on killing human livesToo caught up in our own web of liesI pray for our world, I pray for every childI pray for our world to be filled with smilesLike the colours of a rainbow and not just black and whiteI pray for our world to be filled with lightI pray for all of us, to choose the path that's rightTo believe in Allah every day of our livesEvery mother, every father, every daughter, every sonDon't you see, that the answer lies only with the ONE
