Lyric Lagu Maher Zein : " AWAKEN "

We Were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lenghts
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'rejust lying

Oh I'am walking with my head lowered
in shame from my place
I'am walking with my head lowered
from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everyting
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 costa del sol
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

Oh I'am walking with my head lowered
in shame from my place
I'am walking with my head lowered
Yes it's easy to blame everyting
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'am walking with my head lowered
in shame from my place
I'am walking with my head lowered
from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everyting
on the west
When in fact all focus should be
on ourselves..
