one word - zaaki (uk) lyrics

[intro]
gather round, children of adam, gather round and hear
in the garden of peace, gather and draw near…
like everything we start in life, we begin in the name
of god, allah, jehovah, elohim, one and the same…

[verse 1]
we’re united in our goals, from our cause we take strength
opening our hearts and souls, thankful for all difference
in our colours and our tongues and ideas from our minds
in the passion for humanity that burns behind those eyes
made to know and respect each other in these races and tribes
in our differences, we’re similar, it’s clear to see the signs
we cry the same tears, we feel the same fears
we can listen to one another and be civilised
what truth could it bring if we stay unsettled and silent
about the issues that concern us all, that we feel so deep inside?

[chorus]
‘cause i know we can try, ‘cause i know you and i
can build the world together and reach the highest of heights
don’t judge a book by its cover, a million times we’ve heard
let’s all share our stories, it starts with a single word…

[verse 2]
figureheads make promises, and doubtful webs are spun
it’s dangerous if you’re afraid, feel like you can trust no one
like a tug of war, it’s only over when one side shows its force
pulled along with the rope, it might just get into our heads
it’s from a place of fear that some take drastic, harmful steps
we must help everyone hear that we’ve opened up our doors
taking guidance from our faith, no one can be a believer
if they love to have more, but don’t care for their own neighbours
everyone’s a neighbour on this earth, that’s what muslims believe
you’re more than welcome with us, we embrace you with peace!
you know this is your mosque as much as it’s ours too
i can see you’ve got a good heart, you just want to know the truth
trust me, i and every seeker has been there before, where you are now
i’m counting on the fact i’ll learn from you as we go around
now, when we say ‘allahu akbar’, that means ‘god is supreme!’
he’s greater than anything you could ever possibly conceive
we say it in our prayers, bowing to him in unity
as we strive to better ourselves, fulfilling what he decrees
hijab, for both men and women, is a code of modesty
no one can force islam, it’s surrender to god’s will and peace
[chorus]
just how hard do we try? ‘cause i know you and i
can replace hate with justice if we follow what’s right
don’t judge a book by its cover, a million times we’ve heard
let’s all share our love, it starts with a single word
‘cause i know we can try, ‘cause i know you and i
can build the world together and reach the highest of heights
don’t judge a book by its cover, a million times we’ve heard
let’s all share our stories, it starts with a single word

[verse 3]
amidst the harshest struggles, communities should come close
when grenfell burnt down, the women wouldn’t give up but they chose
to cook with love strong in their hearts, and just see how
in liverpool, giving up the fight after riots broke out
people broke down in tears, just got hugs and food for free
it sounds really simple, a bit strange even, maybe
but it’s willingness to give, forgive, and rise above hostility
that’s the true faith of islam, that’s the religion of peace
we stand as brothers and sisters in solidarity
‘cause we’ll never let the forces of hate push us into defeat

[verse 4]
no matter what comes our way, whether sunshine or rain
we’re strong in our unity, sharing smiles and cups of tea!
comfort in knowing others know our walks of life and stories
sharing to understand, we should always be full of humility
as one humankind, we’ll happily share whatever we have
celebrate our different colourful cultures and belt out laughs
of course i’ll celebrate with you, come over when you’re free!
here’s fresh knafeh from layla, and amal’s most sweet
medjoul dates from far away, soup from the berensteins
biryani from uncle john and a trifle from rasheed…
[verse 5]
‘as*salaamu alayk*m’, ‘shalom, my friend’, ‘peace be with you!’
they all hold the same meaning, from one source, one light above
we’ve got to fight the stereotypes, biases and mistruths
be a mercy to creation like the prophet muhammad was
moses, jesus, abraham, and all prophets, peace be on their souls
i wouldn’t be a muslim if i didn’t let you know
that we love them and their stories and try to follow in their steps
every day in the choices we make, we’re really not terrorists!
but i know that you know that, i know that you understand
and i’m grateful to share my home, great britain, with you, this blessed land

[verse 6]
having hope in our community for global peace and unity
souls softened like silk, it warms your heart indescribably
uplift your hearts, it might seem hard, the qur’an says ‘with hardship comes ease’
we’ll pave the way, we’ll strive today for tomorrow brings a dawn that shines brightly!
with a good helping of tenderness, compassion, genuine care
we’ll paint the world with colour, the call to prosper in the air
to the lord of mercy’s creatures on earth, be gentle and kind
he’ll shower you with his endless grace from beyond the seven skies!
that’s to every soul and every plant and everything you see
we’re stewards of creation, i pray we can live in harmony

[chorus]
just how hard do we try? ‘cause i know you and i
can replace hate with justice if we follow what’s right
don’t judge a book by its cover, a million times we’ve heard
let’s all share our love, it starts with a single word
‘cause i know we can try, ‘cause i know you and i
can build the world together and reach the highest of heights
don’t judge a book by its cover, a million times we’ve heard
let’s all share our stories, it starts with a single word
[chorus]
‘cause i know we can try, ‘cause i know you and i
can replace hate with justice if we follow what’s right
don’t judge a book by its cover, a million times we’ve heard
let’s all share our love, it starts with a single word
‘cause i know we can try, ‘cause i know you and i
can build the world together and reach the highest of heights
don’t judge a book by its cover, a million times we’ve heard
let’s all share our stories, it starts with a single word… hope
