Maher Zain's Thankful Speech to THE CREATOR

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






Oh…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






We were told what to buy and we’d bought


We went to London, Paris and


We made show we were seen in the most exlusive 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






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






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?






Oh…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
