I want to change the world–with my own two hands
Grab hold of all the problems and erase them from all the lands
I want to go wipe the tears off of every girls cheek
Find a way to brighten up–every persons week
Make sure everyone feels loved, and no ones left behind
Teach the oppressors and transgressors how to love and to be kind
This world is filled with horrors that make me choke on my own tears
People hating and filling other people’s lives with fear
Families fighting and cutting off ties–with people they once loved
For money they never owned trying to solve problems that cant be solved
A person dies and leaves behind a fortune to spent
And before the tears of his kin can dry, they’ve already planned how it should be spent
They want money that was never there–never given to them at all
Causing arguments and physical fights–causing once strong families–to completely fall
I wish I could pay the debt, of every muslim alive today
Work like crazy? Find donations? I just want to find a way
Take away the sorrows of the people here on earth
And ensure they wont be punish for it when they are under dirt
But what is it that little I can do to change the condition
Of this ummah and the way we make crazy partitions
I just shake my head, and try to plan–to take the means I can
And make dua to Allah to put peace throughout the land
Little girl who’s daddy dies–leaves her shaking in her boots
My daddies gone, the only tie I had to my roots
Mother sitting by the bed, where her child once slept
Now he is gone and wont come back–no matter how much she wept
People killing–people screaming—people ruining each others lives
People mourning, people crying, letting out pain with every sigh
Makes me wonder how it will feel to be in a place with out pain
Where everyone–every where is completely and utterly sane
But I guess I wont find out…at least not any time soon
As that’s what jannah is for, and I pray that’s where I can spend my afternoons.

Mashaallah …Very Deep..
You can’t wipe the tears off of every girls cheek but You can wipe the tears off of one girl`s cheek..
You can`t change the whole wide world but You can make a difference in atleast one home.
All we need is trust in Allah my dear…
salaam.
