I turn to you, you are my guide
I’m in despair, In you I confide
I’m calling you, Ya Rabbana
I’m calling you

Emptiness in my heart
Has swept me away
For so long oh Allah
I’ve been lost astray
Though you gave me sight
I was so blind
I couldn’t see the Signs
That you sent to me

I turn to you, you are my guide
I’m in despair, In you I confide
I’m calling you, Ya Rabbana
I’m calling you
Though you gave me strength
I felt so weak
Though you gave me hope
I could not seek
Life is passing me by
And the day is near
I turn to you oh my lord
With all my fears

I turn to you, you are my guide
I’m in despair In you i confide
I’m calling you, Ya Rabbana
I’m calling you

From all the troubles in my life
I turn to you, only you
I feel so blessed When I’m calling you
Your always there and will
Be Until the end of time.

Our words must count, Hunger will not wait for promises we made

You told me, I can never be anything
But I’ll show you, there’s nothing that I cannot be
If I put my trust in Him

Chorus
Gonna find my own voice yeah,
I’m gonna make my own way
He’s the only reason
I’m gonna find a Better Day
In between all the noises
Underneath all the pain
He’s the only reason, I’m gonna find a Better Day

You left me, with no return in sight
A hollow scream in the middle of the night

So wont you please, let go of me inside
I need to spread my soul and fly

Chorus

I’m gonna try right now, find the strength somehow
It aint easy for me, oh you broke me down
But I don’t hate you at all, there’s still love in my heart
Oh the reason we fall, is to rise

It’s is said in traditions in the past
We’re made from the dust upon the earth
You and I one day we’ll be asked
How each day we treated her

How we are ruining her face, by the trees cut down just out of greed
How we put poison into her veins , we polluted the rivers and the seas
Now she is struggling to breath, the air we’ve spoiled, made a storm
And the fever that I know she feels, our earth heats beyond the norm

Oh how will she receive us, on the day we are laid to rest
Forgive us oh Lord, for what we’ve done to our earth

[chorus]
What have we done to our Earth
When will we open out eyes
And change the way we live our lives
Your Earth, My Earth, Our Earth, Our Earth.
Tierra, Prithvi, Jahan, Ziemia, Bumi Kita, Duniya, Turkish, Zamin, Ardina
(“Our Earth” or “Earth” in Spanish, Bengali/Hindi, Urdu, Polish, Indonesian, Turkish, Persian and Arabic.)

I see her shivering shaking
cause of all of the mess we are making
But I’m feeling my people awaken
And were headed in a new direction

I’ve started to change the things I buy, I’m making adjustments to my place
I know that change It starts inside, recycling, watching what I waste
And now my voice I use to shout, when these companies try wheel and deal,
Every atom’s weight of good will count, to ease pain that she feels

But I feel a wind of change blowing from heaven above
Let’s heal all the wounds and pain we’ve caused to

[chorus]

[chorus - in Zulu]

Naseeha ja’at min nabeena
Alayna an nahmeeha
Azrau shajarah
Takuno Sadaqa
Tajidu Baraka
Aqaluha Ashara

(Advice came from our Prophet
It is important to take care of the earth
Plant a tree, it will be like a charity
You will get reward, at least 10 times fold.)

[chorus]

Ya Allah – Subhannahu wa ta’alla (Glorious and exalted)
Ya Allah – Samee’ Li-duana (The One who hears our prayers)
My Lord – I know that you hear me
Ya Rabbi (oh My Lord) – Cause He says

When they ask about me, my servants, I am near
Have no doubts about me, and know I hear your prayer
Take one step towards me, and I’ll come running to you
Just have faith and believe, and know I listen to you

Allahummah (Dear God) creator of the universe, maker of this living earth
Greater than we comprehend

Allahummah your the King of all Kings, created all things
On you we all depend.

Allahummah please forgive me my sins, my heart to be cleansed,
My soul purified, Ameen!

Allahummahaa protect me desires that lead to the fire,
Its you who provides, Ameen!

Allahummah help the Muslims of world, give them joy, give them love.
Every boy every girl, Ameen!

Cause indeed you said…

[Chorus]

Guide my neighbors, co-workers

cause indeed you said.

[Chorus]

Call on God, He is glorified,
We call him a lot but you don’t even try

Call on God, you want to know why,
Should I even call and will he reply

Call on God, raise your hands high
He wants you to call him every day and night

Call on God, he hears when you cry,
He made it a promise and he would never lie.

Allah ya Rabbi, Ya Rabb
Help me increase my Iman (faith)
Allah ya Rabbi, Ya Rabb
Help me have faith in your plan
Allah ya Rabbi, Ya Rabb
Your blessings please never stop
Allah ya Rabbi Ya Rabb
Grant me peace in my heart!

[Chorus]

I don’t know what I’m gonna do
If I don’t stay in touch with you
I know my life will fall apart
If I don’t keep you in my heart
You’ve protected me since I
Can remember and that’s why
I never want to go astray
But its a struggle every day

[chorus]
Oh I love You Oh I love You
I’m always
Thinking of You Thinking of You
‘Cause You’re my Lord

I can feel it right now
While I’m here in my prayers
Even though I don’t see You I know that You’re there
You’ve never let me down though I’ve failed many times
I know I need to get my life right, but I’m running out of time

[chorus]

How long will it take for me to see
That Your love is all I need
When I feel I can’t get by
You are right there by my side

[chorus]

You know I need to stop and give a little thought
And contemplate and think about these blessings that You’ve brought
My Lord, You give a lot, it seems that I’ve forgot
And I’m always getting caught in worldly things I’ve got
But now I’m feeling sure, my love for You is pure
I feel it in my heart and my faith is now restored
I’m seeking your reward and to get Your mercy poured
On this servant that loves You ’cause indeed You are my Lord

[chorus]

In the morning sky, before sunrise
Under her watchful eye, they make it through another night
And as the dawn subsides, and her children rise
Will they wake to freedoms light, or is justice too blind

To have seen, that what’s been done
Its to much to bear by anyone
And to have seen, that what’s been done
And to not help and just to stall, it’s a shame upon us all.

[chorus]
Gaza, let me put my arms around you
Lift you to the stars
and watch you fly away, fly away

Gaza, although I’m there with you
I’ll never forget to,
Work for better, Work for better days

Better days, yeah.

And as her day rolls by, she’s focused on how to survive
With every step of every stride, her head is held up with pride
But look into her eyes, her children’s lives
How they find a will to survive,
When freedom’s denied.

And they see that what’s been done
Its to much to bear by anyone
And to have seen, that what’s been done
And to not help and just to stall, it’s a shame upon us all.

[chorus]

Though I’m not there with you now,
Aint no way no how, that I’m gonna let you down
With everything that I am, Imma do the best that I can
Until your able to stand.

And as the day turns to night, and the call of the prayer recites
Prayer’s their only source of light,
In the darkness of the night
And as she sings her kids to sleep
Praying that their dreams will be sweet
Cause dreams are last retreat from reality

[chorus]

I’m living in America now
Got that Muslim American Style
But my heart is with the city of Prophet, gettin’ to Medinah some how

Will I make it? I really don’t know
I made my niyyah to go
Its in my plan if its in the Plan of Allah then He will make it so

[Chorus]
Ya Tayba, Ya Tayba
Ya Taiba Ya Taiba Ya Dawal Aiyyaana
Shtiknaa Lak Wilhawana Daana
Oh Tayba, Oh Tayba (another name for the city of Madinah)
Oh cure of the patient
We miss you, and our passion to visit you has called us to you

Last Messenger of Allah
Send peace and blessing on him now
At least once in my life I’m gonna get to Medinah somehow
When I make it, I’m gonna pray close
Thank Allah for the Prophet that He chose
For the Book of Guidance when I recite it the love in my heart grows

[chorus]

I believe that the days gonna come
Mecca and Medinah, I’ll be looking upon
Its the place where I really feel safe so I race to the blessings I wanna get some

Stack ‘em up till they reach to the sky
Holding tears ’cause I don’t wanna cry
So many years I been trying to get year and I ‘aint gonna stop its a must that I try

This city of Medinah is blessed
Emanating light all the way to the west
You know we do what he did and we say what he said ’cause we know that his way is the best

Focusing on his life is the key
Learning all about his qualities
He was honest, loving, showed compassion and that how I wanna be

[chorus]

Somewhere in a place close by, there’s a mother with child with tears in her eyes
Somewhere else there a boy on street with no food there to eat and he trying to survive
Another place theres father of five but he can’t get food cause the bombs in the sky
Somewhere there’s senior now who is all out of food and her car won’t drive

But we take this food were blessed with, and we throw it half away
We see there’s so much wasted, that could help so much today
Cause I know we take for granted, a warm meal, clean cup to drink
This silver plate we’re handed, maybe once we should stop and think

[chorus]
We don’t know where the hungry ones have to go.
We don’t see what hungry ones have to eat
We don’t feel what the hungry ones feel at night
And we don’t hear, when they pray everything’s gonna be alright

Be alright, Be alright,
I’m gonna try to help things be alright.

So that mother she’ll beg on the street to get something to eat, so her baby wont cry
And the kid he will search through the garbage of food we discarded, just to get by
And the father sprints through explosions just to get a loaf and praying he wont die
And the senior walks to a shop, yo for over 10 block in the middle of the night!

So few have our luxury, to have food any kind of way
So many now would love to be, just able to have one meal a day
But we act so wastefully, God knows how our day will end
and how honored their place will be, he hears when they pray to him.
pray to him, pray to him, he hears when they pray to him.

[chorus]

See, I was born in enslaved, these men they bought and sold me
They found me well-behaved, their reason would control me
This creed, this land, these stones, they had become my master
But doubt lived in my soul, these Gods – they could not answer

But then one day I heard, about this pious man
Who spoke amazing words, I’ll meet him when I can
It all makes sense to me now, I feel my soul revive
I have the true faith inside, there is only one God…

AHAD, AHAD, AHAD ,
ONE GOD! ONE GOD! ONE GOD

Oh now they’re me dragging me, into this scorching heat!
Endlessly lashing me, they want to see me beat
They place these boulders on me, they try to crush my spirit,
But don’t really know me, I stay so strong and bear it,

They hope and pray I’m weak, na my blood is African
I found the truth I seek, I’ll wont go back again
Unshakable belief, I endure this suffering
My heart will always beat, with one word that flows within

AHAD, AHAD, AHAD ,
ONE GOD! ONE GOD! ONE GOD

His word was true again, my voice is strongest now
With freedom I ascend, atop this sacred house
I am the chosen one, to call this land to prayer
No mind this native’s tongue, God knows that I’m sincere

My voice will rise the masses, bring light upon their face
So know under the darkest ashes, there is a glowing blaze
There is only one God, lets reignite the flame
This message in my heart, this word my every vein…
