Free

Free

Sami Yusuf

What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me
My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care
CHORUS:
So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity...
My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see... “Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
And all I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?
For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say:
But don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free

My Ummah

My ummah

Sami Yusuf

My ummah, my ummah He will say Rasulullah on that day Even though we've strayed from him and his way My brothers, my sisters, in Islam Let’s struggle, work, and pray If we are to Bring back the glory of his way Ya Allah ya rabbal ‘alamin Ya rahmanu ya rahim Ya rabbi Let the Ummah rise again Let us see daylight again Once again Let’s become whole again Proud again ’Cause I swear with firm belief in our hearts We can bring back the glory of our past My ummah, my ummah He will say Rasulullah on that day Even though we strayed from him and his way Look at where we were And look at where we are And tell me Is this how he’d want it to be? Oh no! Let us bring back our glory

What a wonderful world

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands, saying "How do you do?"

They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah
