Awaken Lyrics - Maher Zain

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

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

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 Costa Del Sol 

We made show we were seen in the most exlusive 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

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 became individuals 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'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 

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
