Byond Words - Outiandish[00:00:00]
With my right foot first[00:00:03]
I stepped into the holy mosque[00:00:05]
Upon the cold white marble[00:00:06]
Where day and night people sat worshippin' praying[00:00:08]
Right and left the mosque being cleaned[00:00:10]
Shinin' not a particle of dust[00:00:13]
The carvings of marble the plates of gold[00:00:15]
The symmetry of the whole mosque[00:00:17]
Yeah the largest of it all[00:00:18]
The came the grandest of the whole[00:00:20]
The big beautiful house of Allah[00:00:22]
Covered with black cloth and gold leaf writin'[00:00:23]
My life flashed passed me the good and the bad[00:00:26]
Such a feeling my brother never ever felt I had[00:00:28]
A special bondage to the almighty[00:00:31]
A sudden chill in me[00:00:32]
Lookin' around the large floor was filled with unity[00:00:34]
Circling the beautiful house[00:00:36]
Chanting people sitting prayin' for forgiveness[00:00:38]
Prayin' to do better I witnessed[00:00:41]
Takin' a deep breath tears was runnin'[00:00:42]
I ran around the black house the ancient black house[00:00:44]
Built by Ibrahim peace be upon him circlin' 24 no doubt[00:00:47]
I got closer as did my heart as did my soul amazing[00:00:50]
How everyone had their attention only on worshippin'[00:00:53]
All concerns forgotten focused on prayin'[00:00:56]
Forgettin' everything matters and happenings just giving[00:00:58]
I looked up in the sky thanking Allah for this journey[00:01:01]
Sayin': I swear I didn't schedule to be here this early[00:01:03]
I thought I'd come here like pops in my forties and fifties[00:01:06]
And the doe I paid for the ticket was meant for some hobby[00:01:09]
But who am I to say if I will be alive tomorrow[00:01:12]
Or 20 years from now will my health be able to follow[00:01:14]
For a moment I pictured my self 6 feet deep[00:01:17]
In the cemetery my corps in the same white sheets[00:01:20]
Allah holds the master plan and it's already written[00:01:22]
The pens are withdrawn the pages are dry it's written [00:01:25]
Looking back on my life[00:01:29]
Life that's gladly been given to me[00:01:34]
Open my eyes and embrace the smile[00:01:40]
Given to you & I[00:01:46]
Con mi mano derecha abro la puerta[00:01:50]
Mi madre me recibe con un periódico y una carta[00:01:52]
Veo fotos de mi padre abatido por disparos[00:01:55]
De momentos ya yo espero[00:01:58]
Que mis lágrimas caigan me preparo[00:02:00]
Me sorprende que mis ojos estén secos y mi alma esté calmada[00:02:03]
En mi cuerpo no hay dolor por una persona ya olvidada[00:02:06]
With my right hand I open the door[00:02:09]
My mom welcomes me with a newspaper and a letter[00:02:13]
I see pictures of my father fetched down by shots[00:02:15]
In that moment I'm only waiting[00:02:18]
For my tears to fall I'm prepared[00:02:19]
But to my surprise my eyes are dry and my soul is calm[00:02:21]
In my whole body there's no sign of grief for a forgotten person[00:02:23]
Staring outside there was something I realized[00:02:25]
Tomorrow the sun will rise and together[00:02:26]
Will see the beauty of eternity[00:02:27]
Salgo a caminar y despejar mis pensamientos[00:02:28]
Lo normal sería sufrimiento[00:02:30]
O un parecido sentimiento[00:02:31]
Le pido a Dios que lo amparé en sus últimos momentos[00:02:32]
I go out take a walk and clear my thoughts[00:02:35]
The anticipated feeling would be suffering or something similar[00:02:38]
I ask God to be merciful in the final hours[00:02:39]
Looking back on my life[00:02:42]
Life that's gladly been given to me[00:02:43]
Open my eyes and embrace the smile[00:02:45]
Given to you & I[00:02:51]
Looking back on my life[00:02:56]
No regret only the sweet journey[00:03:02]
Lessons from the simple steps[00:03:07]
Taking by you & I[00:03:12]
With my right hand first[00:03:18]
I open the door to the room where my woman gave birth[00:03:19]
To my first born son[00:03:21]
Only minutes before[00:03:22]
I was in the waiting room nervous[00:03:24]
Moms giving me comfort[00:03:25]
Family support[00:03:27]
As I approached I could hear him crying[00:03:27]
I didn't notice[00:03:30]
That my tears were running[00:03:31]
Pictured myself for a moment in the arms of my father[00:03:33]
Flashback to the bended shoulders[00:03:35]
On which I'd sit[00:03:36]
Grabbing his finger[00:03:37]
Taking my first step[00:03:38]
Would I become like him [00:03:39]
After a certain age bottle up[00:03:42]
Stop showing love[00:03:44]
But cold handshakes throughout the years[00:03:44]
Replaced by hugs[00:03:46]
Father whispered in his ears[00:03:47]
The family was gathered[00:03:49]
Pictures were taken[00:03:50]
My hands still shaking[00:03:50]
My joy was beyond words[00:03:52]
Him in my arms[00:03:54]
3 generations of tears running so calm[00:03:55]
He came with Gods blessing and grace so we named him Faizan[00:03:57]
If I worship U in fear of hell burn me in it[00:04:00]
And if I worship U in hope of paradise exclude me from it[00:04:10]
But if I worship U for Your own being[00:04:15]
Don't withhold from me Your everlasting beauty[00:04:19]
If I worship U in fear of hell burn me in it[00:04:24]
And if I worship U in hope of paradise exclude me from it[00:04:29]
But if I worship U for Your own being[00:04:34]
Don't withhold from me Your everlasting beauty[00:04:38]
