Awaken--Maher Zain

Listen to the beautiful lyrics by Maher Zain:

"We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We build buildings of different lengths and size
and we felt so satisfied

We bought and bought
we couldn't stop buying
we gave charity to the poor 'cause
we couldn't stand their crying
we thought we paid our dues
but in fact
to ourselves we're just lying
Oh~

*I'm walkin with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walkin with my head lowered from my race
yes it is easy to blame everything on the west
when in fact all focus should be on ourselves* CHORUS

We were told what to buy and we bought
we went to London,Paris, and
we made show we were seen in the most exclusive shops
yes we felt so satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power
we forgot to teach our children about history and honor
we didn't have any time to lose
when we were...(were)
so busy feeling so satisfied

*CHORUS*

My dear brother and sisters
It's time to change inside
open your eyes
don't throw away what's right aside
before the day comes
when there's no way to run and hide
now ask yourselves because Allah is watching you"
