our world...

Every morning on every news flash

I hear the sorrow of the world

It seems like everybody lost and scared

Trying to make sense of it all

And as I travel to and fro

So many faces passed me by

I see lonely hearts living lonely lives

Just biding their time

And while we call ourselves civilised

Many people living empty lives

As they drone their way

Through day and night

I pray for our world,

I pray for every child

I pray for our world,

to be filled with smiles

Like the colours of a rainbow

And not just black and white

I pray for our world,

to be filled with light

I pray for all of us

To choose the path that’s right

To believe in Allah everyday of our lives

In 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 civilised

We go on killing human lives

Too caught up in our own web of lies

Every mother, every father,Every daughter, every son

Don’t you see that the answer lies

Only with the one
