Our World | Zain Bhikha

Every morning on every news flash
I here the sorrow of the world

It seems like everybody’s lost and scared
Trying to make
Sense of it all

And I travel to and for
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 day

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

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

Every mother every father
Every daughter every son

Don’t you see that the answer
Lies only with the one

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
