awaken...

maher zain 'awaken'

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 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

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 blink 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 

Terkesan sungguh lirik lagu ni..zzapp!! terus ke lubuk hati..malu seketika..keseluruhan lirik lagu ni sangat bermakna tapi yang paling terkesan buat aku sekarang (disebabkan masalah yang melanda seorang sahabat baru-baru ni) adalah rangkap ini-
"Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west,When in fact all focus should be on ourselves"
memang kita selalu macam ni kan?susah nak mengaku kesalahan sendiri. Bila ada benda buruk yang terjadi, mulalah menuding jari salahkan orang lain. Demi kepentingan diri sendiri, rela khianati rakan sendiri.
Kenapa kita susah untuk mengaku kesalahan sendiri? Selagi kita terlalu berajakan keEGOan kita takkan kemana..
Alangkah baiknya kalau kita dapat terima kesalahan sendiri dan jadikan kesalahan itu sebagai panduan kita di kemudian hari...
(Buat sahabat itu, bersabarlah ..("Insya Allah you’ll find your way, Turn to Allah, He’s never far away, Put your trust in Him, Raise your hands and pray...") i.Allah mereka-mereka itu akan sedar kesilapan mereka suatu masa nanti..)

Apa-apa pun keseluruhan lirik lagu ni buat aku terfikir banyak benda..selaminya dan hayatilah...
WallahuA'lam...
