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...
