A CHILD’S PRAYER LYRICS - ZAIN BHIKHA

A Child’s Prayer Lyrics - Zain Bhikha

A Child’s Prayer Lyrics 

I sometimes lie awake at night

And wonder at the stars so bright

I dream about my future too

And the things that I will do



Soon the world will count on me

I’m the future they agree

People depend on me somehow

Though small and timid, I am now



So you and I my dearest friend

Must stand together till the end

For we are one by Allah’s grace

No matter what our colour or race



We must prepare ourselves today

While we journey on our life’s way

So much there is to learn and see

For true believers we must be



Yeah, yeah. Come on.

Yeah, yeah. Come on.

Go forward young Muslims, wherever you are

In the shadow of the sun or by the light of a star

Your Supreme protector is Almighty Allah

Go forward young Muslims wherever you are

Go forward young Muslims we feel your pain.

So many places, Palestine,

People are dying, mothers are crying

Bombs are falling from the sky, people asking why.

The only thing that we can do is pray to God, to help them through

But do they realize that Allah hates those who kill and despise.

I think that’s no surprise. We must rise up.

Come on young Muslims, gotta rise up.

Come on young Muslims.

Together we must stand in the Masjid to pray,

Pray for a better day, a better way

To make this world a better place.

Cause lets face it, it’s out of control.

We need to grab hold of each other

unite as one Ummah.

Like back in the days of the

Companions of the Prophet

Some were young, they were strong and they

loved each other

Brothers and sisters and they could

die for one another.

Yeah. Yeah.

So stand up young Muslims.

Say it out loud, it’s time to be counted.

Right here, right now.

Yeah, right here. Come on, right now.



O Allah we love you so

Give us health and make us grow

Be with us each passing day

While we journey on life’s way
