the story of ibrahim - dawud wharnsby ali lyrics

Loading...

father, o father, why do you do it?
why do you whittle all day?
why do you carve those statues of wood
and fashion those idols out of clay?

father, o father, why do you do it?
why do you bow down and pray?
to all those empty gods you’ve made
when there’s such a far better way?

there is only one god
la ilaha illallah
lord of both the earth and sky
who knows all the answers to where, what and why
there is only one god
la ilaha illallah

i’ve looked to the sky, seen the moon and stars
come then quickly fade away
i’ve seen the sun so strong and bright
die at the end of the day

i’ve seen the perfection of all creation
in every creature and leaf
and i don’t understand any woman or man
who denies the one true belief
there is only one god
la ilaha illallah
who will not fade and who will not die
who knows all the answers to where, what and why
there is only one god
la ilaha illallah

people, o people, why won’t you heed
my call to the straight way?
your hearts are as hard as the idols you carve
you listen but won’t hear a word that i say

people, o people, why put your faith
in gods of gold and wood?
they crumble away, they have no life
they cause no harm and they do no good

there is only one god
la ilaha illallah
i don’t understand why you choose to deny
that allah knows all the answers to where, what and why
there is only one god
la ilaha illallah

people, o people, you’ve tried to break me
you’ve called me a fool and a liar
but i will not burn in your flames
for faith in allah will cool any fire
so hate me or hurt me, do what you will
even banish me from this land
i will pray to allah that the truth comes to you
and i pray that some day you will all understand

there is only one god
la ilaha illallah
lord of both the earth and sky
who will not fade and who will not die
there is only one god
la ilaha illallah
no, i don’t understand why you choose to deny
that allah knows all the answers to where, what and why
there is only one god
la ilaha illallah
