We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very 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
We were told what to buy and we'd bought
We went to London, Paris and Costa Delso
We made show we were seen in the most exclusive shops
Yes we felt so very 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...
We became the visuals without a soul
Despite the heat
Our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness
We bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars
And bling will make us feel satisfied
My dear brother and sister
It's time to change inside
Open your eyes
Don't throw away what's right aside
Before the day comes
When there's nowhere to run and hide
Now ask yourself 'cause Allah's watching you
IS HE SATISFIED?
IS ALLAH SATISFIED?
IS ALLAH SATISFIED?
IS ALLAH SATISFIED?
Ohhh...
I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves.
p/s; nice and a very meaningful song. tears running down as i'm reading the messages. and it's true! this is what happen to us today. we chase everything to make us feel satisfied and thus we forgot that he is watching us every seconds and every minutes. the most important thing is, we forgot to ask ourselves, IS HE SATISFIED?? wake up asma! O Allah, lead me to jannah, save me from al-haawiyah.. O Allah, we adore you.. O Allah, we implore you...
