Our World

Zain Bhikha


Every morning on every news flash 
I hear the sorrow of the world 
It seems like everybody's lost and 
Scared trying to make sense of it all 
And as I travel to and fro, so many faces pass me by 
I see lonely hearts living lonely lives just biding their time 
And while we call ourselves civilized, many people living empty lives 
As they drone their way through day and night 

Chorus 

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 every day 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 civilized, 
We go on killing human lives 
Too caught up in our own web of lies 

Chorus 

Every mother, every father, every daughter, every son 
Don't you see, that the answer lies only with the ONE
