Mum and Dad | Zain Bhikha

You held my hand to steady me
Till I was ready to make a stand

On my own two feet
While my world was crumbling down

And you tried your best to shelter me
From the coming of the storm

You opened my eyes to see
That all hope was not gone

You held my in your arms
And wiped away my tears

Not even in a million years
Can I ever repay you

For what you’ve done for me
You were there when I felt

That there was no place for me
You were there to show me

How to truly believe
In the miracle of creation

In the good and the bad
Oh how I love you Mum and Dad

You were there to lift me up
When I was far too small

To see a brighter tomorrow
And face it proud and tall

When my head was down you prayed for me
Said I just need some time

You said to spread my wings and fly
Give the world of what was inside

You taught to me try
To do my best to inspire

People of very kind
Thats a gift from Allah

That I can never claim as mine
You were there when I felt

That there was no place for me
You were there to show me

How to truly believe
In the miracle of creation

Even when you’re lost and scared
Oh how I love you Mum and Dad

Oh Allah, bless them
And always keep them safe from harm

Grant them places in Paradise
And your eternal Salaam

You were there when I felt
That there was no place for me

You were there to show me
How to truly believe

In the miracle of creation
In the good and the bad
Oh how I love you Mum and Dad
