Versuri I've Seen

 
(feat. Sami Yusuf) 
 
I wish you were here 
Here next to me 
Been missing you so 
So desperately 
But lately I feel 
Like you feel and 
I see what you see 
How I'm missing you  
 
What happened to the ummah  
Once known so well... 
 
I wish you were here 
Here next to me 
Been missing you so 
So desperately 
But lately I feel 
Like you feel and 
I see what you see 
How I'm missing you  
 
What happened to the ummah  
Once known so well 
Greatness was known  
But now can u tell 
Used to inspire others with our way of thinking and speech 
People came from afar just to hear us teach 
Yo what happened to the ummah  
Once known so well 
Greatness was known  
But now can u tell 
Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked 
We lost our deen we feel secure 
'Cause our mansions are locked 
In my teen years salah wasn't really that tight 
Now I gotta pray each one of them twice 
What happened to the ummah  
Once known so well 
Greatness was known  
But now can u tell 
Brother we prefer light skinned women  
While righteously maintaining our deen against racism 
What happened to the ummah  
Once known so well 
Greatness was known  
But now can u tell 
 
I wish you were here 
Here next to me 
Been missing you so 
So desperately 
But lately I feel 
Like you feel and 
I see what you see 
How I'm missing you  
 
What happened to the ummah once known so well 
Greatness was known, but now can u tell 
Kids in Africa are starving - can't afford to cry 
I'll pay interest for a car I can't afford to buy 
What happened to the ummah once known so well 
Greatness was known, but now can u tell? 
We used to smile at each other, with faces full of light 
Now we frown at each other, we bicker and we fight 
Pops in the mosque praying, kids in the streets hating 
Kids on the corner selling, pops in the mosque preachin' 
What happened to the ummah once known so well 
Greatness was known but now can u tell? 
The Quran has left out hearts stranded, hanging on out walls 
6232verses, so strong 
9 out of 10 of us can't even read or write 
1924 feels distant like way before Christ 
 
I wish you were here 
Here next to me 
Been missing you so 
So desperately 
But lately I feel 
Like you feel and 
I see what you see 
How I'm missing you  
 
Que le pas a la maza 
Como puede ser 
La grandeza conocida 
No la puedo ver 
He visto como mi figura cae en tentacin 
A pesar de que la vida a sido buena con luz e ilusion 
He pedido perdn por mis pecados 
Tengo la cruz sobre mi cama y el diablo a mi lado 
Que le pas a la maza 
Como puede ser 
La belleza conocida 
No la puedo ver 
He sentido incompetencia buscando la verdad 
Todos dicen conocerla solo veo la maldad 
Que le pas a la maza 
Como puede ser 
La pureza conocida 
No la puedo ver
