the crazy spots i've prayed - dawud wharnsby ali lyrics

all the earth is a place of prostration
every field and meadow, mountain, park, city, farm plantation
every roadside, seaside, hillside, walkway
any place clean and green can be a place to pray
when i think of every path, where i’ve ever trot
i laugh at all the crazy spots i stopped to worship god

remember that long car ride?
driving all night so far
under the summer moon we pulled off to the side
reclining in the front seat of the car
waking to a fajr bird sound
and washing in the coin car wash we found
with the water blaster making wudhu
you sprayed me and i sprayed you
we stood so drowsy in the dawn
behind the car wash dripping on the lawn
all the earth is a place of prostration
every field and meadow, mountain, park, city, farm plantation
every roadside, seaside, hillside, walkway
any place clean and green can be a place to pray
when i think of every path, where i’ve ever trot
i laugh at all the crazy spots i stopped to worship god

sat*rday shopping day
in a busy mall, i’m bustling through the aisles
where everyone’s getting in my way
each blank zombie we shop and face forty smiles
time comes for prayer attack
grab a pair of pants or a sweater from the rack
find a changing room and latch the door
set aside excuses and hit the floor
as i go back to the mall
it’s easier then to make sense of it all

and our socks froze to the blanket
that we spread over the snow
your call to prayer bounced off the trees
and across the icy meadow
crisp and clean cold air
our hearts were so aware
our bodies felt the frozen freedom
what a very cool place for prayer!
all the earth is a place of prostration
every field and meadow, mountain, park, city, farm plantation
every roadside, seaside, hillside, walkway
any place clean and green can be a place to pray
when i think of every path, where i’ve ever trot
i laugh at all the crazy spots i stopped to worship god

there was a time next to the river
there was a time in the school hall
there was that stairwell in that building
there was that forest in the fall
the movie house corridor
the airplane kitchen in the sky
so many places i’m sure there’ll be more
pieces of earth to testify
